# Overview

In this self-paced exercise, you will learn how to configure, deploy and test Cluster Autoscaler within an Amazon EKS cluster using add-ons, blueprints and workloads.

## What Will You Do by Part

| Part | What will you do? |
| --- | --- |
| 1 | [Setup](https://docs.rafay.co/learn/quickstart/eks/autoscaler/setup/) and Configuration |
| 2 | Cluster [Blueprint](https://docs.rafay.co/learn/quickstart/eks/autoscaler/blueprint/) with Cluster Autoscaler |
| 3 | [Provision](https://docs.rafay.co/learn/quickstart/eks/autoscaler/provision/) an Amazon EKS Cluster with Cluster Autoscaler |
| 4 | Deploy a test [Workload](https://docs.rafay.co/learn/quickstart/eks/autoscaler/workload/) the EKS cluster to activate Cluster Autoscaler |
| 5 | [Deprovision](https://docs.rafay.co/learn/quickstart/eks/autoscaler/deprovision/) the EKS cluster |

## Assumptions

- You have access to an [Amazon AWS account](https://aws.amazon.com/) with privileges to create an IAM Role with the default [Full IAM Policy](https://docs.rafay.co/clusters/eks/full_iam_policy/) to allow provisioning of resources on your behalf as part of the EKS cluster lifecycle.
