### How can I tune Cluster Autoscaler's performance for processing ProvisioningRequests?

Cluster Autoscaler can be run in batch processing mode for CheckCapacity
ProvisioningRequests. In this mode, Cluster Autoscaler processes multiple
CheckCapacity ProvisioningRequests in a single iteration. This mode is useful for
scenarios where a large number of CheckCapacity ProvisioningRequests
need to be processed.

However, enabling batch processing for CheckCapacity ProvisioningRequests can adversely
affect the performance of processing other types of ProvisioningRequests and incoming pods
since iterations where CheckCapacity ProvisioningRequests are processed will take longer
and scale-ups for other types of ProvisioningRequests and incoming pods will not be processed
during that time.

#### Enabling Batch Processing

1. **Cluster Autoscaler Version**: Ensure you are using Cluster Autoscaler version 1.32.0 or later.

2. **Feature Flag**: Batch processing is disabled by default, it can be enabled by
setting the following flag in your Cluster Autoscaler configuration:
`--check-capacity-batch-processing=true`.

Yes, batch processing is disabled by default. Specified in the file.


3. **Batch Size**: Set the maximum number of CheckCapacity ProvisioningRequests
to process in a single iteration by setting the following flag in your Cluster
Autoscaler configuration:
`--max-batch-size=<batch-size>`. The default value is 10.

4. **Batch Timebox**: Set the maximum time in seconds that Cluster Autoscaler will
spend processing CheckCapacity ProvisioningRequests in a single iteration by
setting the following flag in your Cluster Autoscaler configuration:
`--batch-timebox=<timebox>`. The default value is 10s.
