I am thinking of checking if kubeadm enabled this: https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/tree/master/cluster/addons/dns-horizontal-autoscaler and adding it if not.
I realized the reason we had both pods on the first control plane node is probably because it was the only node when they started, which is fine. However, autoscaling is probably good.

and then:

On the DNS autoscaler, it is not enabled, and it deploys this thingy: https://github.com/kubernetes-incubator/cluster-proportional-autoscaler
That manages the autoscaler for the user according to cluster size. We’d probably want to go over the doc in the readme here: https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/tree/master/cluster/addons/dns-horizontal-autoscaler and
put up a patch. It’s in the kube-system namespace, so the image can be used directly from Google in our yaml file if we go with it.
