but I'd prefer to have a new instance deployed for each new experiment and that it also terminates when no new experiments are queued

I'm not objecting, just wondered on the rational behind the decision 🙂
Back to the AWS autoscaler:
Basically if you have the services-agent running on your cluster, it will just run the aws-autoscaler for you 🙂
The idea of the service-agent is to run logic/monitoring Tasks suck as the aws autoscaler. Notice that service-mode means multiple job per agent, contrary to the default one task per agent at any given time.
If you want you can package the aws-autoscaler example inside a docker and just spin it, you can use the clearml-agent docker file as a good starting point. wdyt?

I just run the k8s daemon with a simple helm chart and use it with terraform with the helm provider. Nothing much to share as it’s just a basic chart 🙂

My goal is to automatically run the AWS Autoscaler task on a clearml-agent pod when I deploy

LovelyHamster1 this is very cool!
quick question, if you are running on EKS, why not use the EKS autoscaling instead of the ClearML aws EC2 autoscaling ?

I use a custom helm chart and terraform helm provider for these things

This, however, requires that I slightly modify the clearml helm chart with the aws-autoscaler deployment, right?

Correct 🙂

Hi AgitatedDove14 , do you mean the the k8s glue autoscaler here https://github.com/allegroai/clearml-agent/blob/master/examples/k8s_glue_example.py ? If yes, I understood that this service deploys pods on the nodes in the cluster, but I'd prefer to have a new instance deployed for each new experiment and that it also terminates when no new experiments are queued

AgitatedDove14 that seems like the best option. Once the aws autoscaler is inside a docker container I can deploy it inside a kube pod or a job. This, however, requires that I slightly modify the clearml helm chart with the aws-autoscaler deployment, right?

Nice! TrickySheep9 any chance you can share them ?
