Hello We have a 4-5 physical servers and one physical we will install RKE2 control plane manually and it is management cluster and we will install Rancher and Elemental on it for enrolling the bare metal servers into the inventory. My question is whether the autoscaling can be achieved using elemental or Rancher because rancher i am getting a document where it says autoscaling can be done Docs Rancher autoscaling: github.com/kubernetes/autoscaler/blob/…/README.md But if i register host and create elemental cluster and lets say i have 5 physical servers registered in inventory will i be able to do autoscale using Elemental GUI because i am not getting any official documentation regarding Please help if anyone has any idea

Autoscaling isn't an elemental feature.
There's lots of other tools for autoscaling
Inlcuding the 
cluster-autoscaler
that's built into upstream kubernetes.
You'd use Rancher. which would then use elemental.
Also, your idea is 1/2 baked.
1 CP node is possible.
but if anything happens to that node your whole control plane is down and you're looking at an outage.
It flies in the face of all the established best practices I've heard about in the past 20 years.
If this is production, common practice is 3 CP nodes.

Okay sure sir will go through this

elemental.docs.rancher.com/architecture That K3s/RKE2 provisioning line points to Rancher but doesn't go into the Elemental Operator section.
