Release Notes for Smart Scaler Version 2.17.0

Release Date: 8th December 2025

Smart Scaler solves the problem of runaway costs of Kubernetes clusters that are heavily over-provisioned to compensate for the reactive and time consuming tuning required for vanilla HPA.

We continue to add new features and enhancements to Smart Scaler.
