About this skill

What it does. Explains how to enable autoscaling for GKE clusters and node pools, tune consolidation, location policies and capacity buffers, and diagnose scaling failures. It uses visibility logs and included scripts to investigate provisioning errors, stockouts, quota issues and scale-down blockers.

When to use it. Use it for operational questions about GKE Cluster Autoscaler, Node Auto Provisioning and node scaling behaviour. Do not use it for ComputeClass YAML, schemas or priority configuration; those belong to the separate ComputeClass guidance.
