+# Karpenter
+
+Karpenter is an open-source Kubernetes cluster autoscaler built for efficiency and speed. This Helm chart installs Karpenter in your Kubernetes cluster and can be used to manage your node pools for dynamically scaling your infrastructure. This chart supports automated deployment of Karpenter, including the creation of NodePools, EC2NodeClasses, IAM roles, and other necessary resources.
+
+To install Karpenter, use the following commands:
+
+```shell
+$ helm repo add ot-helm https://ot-container-kit.github.io/helm-charts/
+$ helm install karpenter ot-helm/karpenter --namespace kube-system
+```
+
+To upgrade the setup:
+
+```shell
+$ helm upgrade karpenter ot-helm/karpenter --install --namespace kube-system
+```
+
+To uninstall the chart:
+
+```shell
+$ helm delete karpenter --namespace kube-system
+```
+
+### Pre-Requisites

+
+### Notes:
+
+- Refer to Example Folder for a example values.yaml file 
+- Karpenter automatically creates and manages NodePools as part of the installation process.
+- Make sure to configure the IAM roles required by Karpenter for it to interact with EC2 instances and manage resources along with all prerequisites.
+- The chart will ensure the Karpenter controller and NodePools are deployed correctly with all required configurations.
