Description
our nodepools ended up always spinning up m or c types (cheapest) since the pendings pods were never big enough to require r types (we run 8xl as the smallest ~30 cpus) so we ended up with lots of c/m-s but the actual pod requests were very memory heavy so we had to wait for consolidation which lead to more pod interruptions
(also tried changing batching settings, but even 1m/5m did not help)
How was this change tested?
updated the nodepool and saw that we get a good mix of m and r on the first try now
