Summary

Documents the new strict spot capacity behavior for Karpenter-backed node groups. Spot node groups now provision spot instances only and no longer silently fall back to on-demand capacity, so users need to know when spot is appropriate and what guarantees the platform makes.

Changes

  • Added a Spot Instances section to cloud-accounts/node-groups.mdx explaining strict spot behavior, when to use it, when not to, and how to create a spot node group.
  • Linked to existing health check guidance, since graceful rescheduling matters more without an on-demand fallback.

Context

Triggered by an upstream change that tightens spot node pool configuration to spot-only (removing the implicit on-demand fallback). Existing pools written in the legacy mixed format continue to be recognized as spot and are rewritten in the strict format on the next reconciliation, so no user action is required.
