If the API is temporarily unavailable, cluster-autoscaler will be crash-looping on startup during the initial call to
Refresh()
. This makes for a bad user/operator experience since it aggravates differentiating between API and cluster/workload problems.Let autoscaler start up and retry fetching node pool information from the API as part of the pre-existing, periodic sync. This should be no different to experiencing transient API problems during runtime.
