Design, install, debug, review, plan capacity, audit scaling history, migrate from Cluster Autoscaler, and upgrade Karpenter v1.x on EKS. Covers NodePool, EC2NodeClass, NodeClaim, Spot diversity, disruption strategy, Pod Identity/IRSA, interruption queue, private clusters, AMI rotation, and GitOps integration. Use when asked to "set up Karpenter", "debug why nodes aren't provisioning", "review my NodePool", "what would Karpenter provision for this workload", "why did this node terminate…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
Design, install, debug, review, plan capacity, audit, migrate, and upgrade Karpenter on EKS. # Verify current stable version before installing (Karpenter uses OCI, not a Helm repo): crane ls public.ecr.aws/karpenter/karpenter | grep -E '^[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+$' | sort -V | tail -5 # Pin to the version from that output, e.g.: # helm upgrade --install karpenter oci://public.ecr.aws/karpenter/karpenter --version x.y.z All guidance targets the `karpenter.sh/v1` API. The v0.x `Provisioner`/`AWSNodeTemplate` API was removed in v1.0 — if you are on v0.x, use `migrate` mode first. --- ## Interactive Wizard (fires when no arguments are provided) When invoked with no arguments, ask before proceeding: **Q1 — Mode?** ``` What do you need? 1. generate — design NodePool and EC2NodeClass from requirements 2. debug — diagnose why nodes are not provisioning or pods are stuck Pending 3. review — production-readiness review of existing NodePool/EC2NodeClass 4. audit — reconstruct scale-out/scale-in history and explain why it happened 5. plan — predict what Karpenter would provision for a given workload before deploying …

How to install
mdr add nitinjain999/platform-skills/karpenter@sha256:a7b1938660381b67The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261018.90b97a9, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
