<p>I came across this page regarding the kube auto-scaler: <a href="https://github.com/kubernetes/autoscaler/blob/master/cluster-autoscaler/FAQ.md#what-are-the-parameters-to-ca" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://github.com/kubernetes/autoscaler/blob/master/cluster-autoscaler/FAQ.md#what-are-the-parameters-to-ca</a></p>
<p>From this, I can tell that part of the reason why some of my nodes aren't being scaled down, is because they have local-data set on them...</p>
<p>By default, the auto-scaler ignores nodes that have local data. I want to change this to false. However, I can't find instructions anywhere about <em>how</em> to change it.</p>
<p>I can't find any obvious things to edit. There's nothing in <code>kube-system</code> that implies it is about the autoscaler configuration - just the autoscaler status ConfigMap.</p>
<p>Could somebody help please? Thank you!</p>

<p>You cannot. The only option the GKE gives is a vague &quot;autoscaling profile&quot; choice between the default and &quot;optimize utilization&quot;. You can, however, override it with per-pod annotations.</p>
