v4.16.0
Release date: July 04, 2023
New Features
With release 4.16, our focus was on the Kubernetes Cluster Autoscaler. The cluster autoscaler automatically resizes the number of nodes based on the demands of your workload.

You don't need to add or remove nodes or over-provision your nodes manually.
