- Open the GCP console and select the appropriate project.
- Navigate to the Kubernetes Engine by selecting Kubernetes Engine from the left-hand side menu.
- Select the cluster that needs to be remediated.
- Click on the Edit button at the top of the page.
- Scroll down to the Node Pools section and click on the node pool that needs remediation.
- In the node pool settings, scroll down to the Autoscaling section.
- Toggle the button next to “Enable autoscaling” to the “On” position.
- Set the minimum and maximum number of nodes. It is recommended to set the minimum number of nodes to 1 and the maximum number of nodes based on the workload requirements.

Using CLI
Using CLI
To remediate the misconfiguration “Worker Pool Autoscaling Should Be Enabled” for GCP using GCP CLI, you can follow the below steps:
- Open the Cloud Shell in GCP Console.
- Run the command
gcloud container clusters listto list all the clusters available in your project. - Find the name of the cluster for which you want to enable the worker pool autoscaling.
- Run the command
gcloud container clusters update CLUSTER_NAME --enable-autoscaling --min-nodes=1 --max-nodes=10 --num-nodes=3to enable the worker pool autoscaling for the cluster.- Replace
CLUSTER_NAMEwith the name of your cluster. --enable-autoscalingenables the autoscaling feature.--min-nodes=1sets the minimum number of nodes to 1.--max-nodes=10sets the maximum number of nodes to 10.--num-nodes=3sets the initial number of nodes to 3.
