Worker Pools
Typhoon AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud allow additional groups of workers to be defined and joined to a cluster. For example, add worker pools of instances with different types, disk sizes, Container Linux channels, or preemptibility modes.
Internal Terraform Modules:
aws/flatcar-linux/kubernetes/workers
aws/fedora-coreos/kubernetes/workers
azure/flatcar-linux/kubernetes/workers
azure/fedora-coreos/kubernetes/workers
google-cloud/flatcar-linux/kubernetes/workers
google-cloud/fedora-coreos/kubernetes/workers
