Gang autoscaling solves this by holding an entire group of pods until all resources are provisioned. This post walks through configuring Red Hat build of Kueue with the ProvisionRequest API on OpenShift to achieve true gang autoscaling. The setup involves configuring ClusterAutoscaler and MachineAutoscaler CRs, then wiring together Kueue's ResourceFlavor, ClusterQueue, AdmissionCheck, and ProvisioningRequestConfig resources. The end-to-end flow ensures jobs are only admitted once the Cluster Autoscaler has successfully provisioned the required nodes, eliminating scaling deadlocks and idle resource waste for multi-pod workloads like distributed ML training. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
