Description

For production environments, we likely want enable multiple replicas for critical services:

  • Istiod
  • Prometheus
  • AlertManager
  • Cluster Autoscaler

If a node running one of these services becomes unreachable, it currently requires manual intervention as the pod can't be rescheduled.

Research direction

Start by locating the Terraform modules and Kubernetes configuration for Istiod, Prometheus, AlertManager, and Cluster Autoscaler, then inspect how replica counts are currently defined. Done means the critical services can run multiple replicas and recover when a node becomes unreachable; the issue does not name specific files or tests.
