Same, a while back you had to install cluster-autoscaler and set it to aggressive mode. GKE has this option now on setup, though I think anyone who's had to do this stuff knows that just using a cluster-autoscaler is never enough. I don't see this being different for any cluster and is more a consequence of your workloads and how they are partitioned (if not partitioning, you'll have real trouble getting high utilization)
