Node Pool Configuration Guide
Node Pool Configuration enables multiple node pools and customized node settings to optimize performance, cost-effectiveness, and reliability. This guide covers key parameters for AWS, AlibabaCloud, and GKE node provisioning, including instance types and resource allocation. By configuring these settings across multiple node pools, you can tailor your infrastructure to meet specific workload demands while balancing cost and efficiency.
AWS Node Provision Settings

| Enable GPU Node Provision | Activates GPU node provisioning. | Disabled |
| GPU Instance Family | GPU instance types (e.g., p4d, p4). Multiple choices allowed. | All GPU families |
| Min Graphic Cards/Memory | Minimum GPU cards or memory (MiB) per node. | 0 (Unlimited) |
AlibabaCloud Node Provision Settings
The following parameters are available for AlibabaCloud node provisioning:
| Parameter | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|

| Provision Priority | The priority of this node pool. | 2 |
| Instance Family | Specifies instance types (e.g., ecs.g5, ecs.r6). Multiple comma-separated values allowed. | All instance families |
| Instance Arch | Cluster architecture (supports amd64, arm64). Automatically detected or manually configured. | amd64 |
| Capacity Type | Node purchase option: on-demand, spot, or both. | spot, on-demand |
| Instance Tags | Key-value tags for resource management (e.g., cloudpilot.ai/managed=true). | cloudpilot.ai/managed=true |
| Image Alias | OS image (supports ContainerOS for x86, AlibabaCloudLinux3 for x86/arm64). | AlibabaCloudLinux3 |
| Image ID | Custom image ID (overrides Image Alias if specified). | null |
| Zone ID | Deployment zone (e.g., cn-beijing-a). Multiple zones supported. | All available zones |
| System Disk Size | OS disk size (adjustable). | 20GiB |
| System Disk Categories | Disk types (e.g., cloud_ssd, cloud_essd). Cheapest available is selected. | cloud, cloud_ssd, cloud_efficiency, cloud_essd, cloud_auto, cloud_essd_entry |
| Min/Max CPU | Minimum/maximum CPU cores per node (0 = unlimited). | 0 (Unlimited) |
| Min/Max Memory | Minimum/maximum memory (MiB) per node (0 = unlimited). | 0 (Unlimited) |
| Enable GPU Node Provision | Activates GPU node provisioning. | Disabled |
| GPU Instance Family | GPU instance types (e.g., ecs.gn5i-c2g1, ecs.gn7i-c8g1). Multiple choices allowed. | All GPU families |
| Min Graphic Cards/Memory | Minimum GPU cards or memory (MiB) per node. | 0 (Unlimited) |
GKE Node Provision Settings
The following parameters are available for GKE node provisioning:
| Parameter | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Enable | When disabled, this node pool will not provision any new nodes. | true |
| Node Class | Select the GCENodeClass to use for this node pool. | cloudpilot |
| Provision Priority | The priority of this node pool. | 2 |
| Instance Family | Limits the allowed GCE families (for example n2, c3, or c3d). Multiple comma-separated values are allowed. | All families that satisfy the remaining requirements |
| Instance Arch | The node CPU architecture. | amd64 |
| Capacity Type | Node purchase option: on-demand, spot, or both. | on-demand |
| Zone ID | Deployment zone (e.g., us-central1-a). Multiple zones are supported. | All available zones |
| Min/Max CPU | Minimum/maximum CPU cores per node (0 = unlimited). | 0 / 16 |
| Min/Max Memory | Minimum/maximum memory in MiB per node (0 = unlimited). | 0 / 32768 MiB |
Adjust configurations based on workload requirements and validate changes in a staging environment. For further assistance, consult the CloudPilot Documentation or contact support.
