@Marvin does it even make sense to use karpenter in combination with prefect?

Karpenter is a Kubernetes-native autoscaler that can dynamically adjust the number of nodes in a cluster based on the workloads running on it. Prefect, particularly when deployed on Kubernetes, can benefit from Karpenter's capabilities to efficiently manage resources. While there isn't a direct mention of Karpenter in the Prefect documentation, Prefect does support Kubernetes through its

prefect-kubernetes

library, allowing you to orchestrate and manage Kubernetes resources. Integrating Karpenter with a Prefect deployment on Kubernetes could optimize resource usage by scaling the cluster according to the demand created by Prefect flow runs. For more details on using Kubernetes with Prefect, you can refer to the Prefect Kubernetes documentation. In summary, using Karpenter with Prefect on Kubernetes makes sense if you want to automate and optimize resource management in your cluster.
