You can now use workload identity principals to enable the Kubernetes Cluster Autoscaler to access OCI services and resources when scaling managed node pools. Alternatively, you can continue to use instance principals for the same purpose.

You can set up workload identity principals for the Cluster Autoscaler when it is running as a standalone program, and when it is running as a cluster add-on.
