Configure the LKE autoscaler using the CLI
The Linode CLI currently doesn't expose the autoscaler switches using cluster create and node pool update. Is there a plan to allow configuration of the autoscaler using the CLI in the future?
EDIT: only the linode-cli lke pool-create command let you turn the autoscaler ON. The pool-update command does not expose the autoscaler switches so there's no way to turn the autoscaler OFF using the CLI.

Thanks for updating this post with your findings. What you just identified is a bug, which I've reported thanks to this post.
As our API/CLI documentation states, this should work:
https://techdocs.akamai.com/linode-api/reference/put-lke-node-pool
Here's the provided example:
linode-cli lke pool-update 12345 456 \
--count 6 \
The autoscaler configuration is applied on node pools in a cluster, not the cluster itself. The thing is, right now, when you try to run that command via the CLI, it's stating that the expected arguments are "invalid arguments."
I can't say when this bug will be fixed. For the time being, you can use the API to do this:
curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
-X PUT -d '{
"count": 6
}' \
