GCP Dataproc Autoscaling Policy

A GCP Dataproc Autoscaling Policy defines the rules that Google Cloud Dataproc uses to automatically add or remove worker nodes from a Dataproc cluster in response to workload demand. By specifying target utilisation levels, cooldown periods, graceful decommissioning time-outs and per-node billing settings, the policy ensures that clusters expand to meet spikes in processing requirements and shrink when demand falls, optimising both performance and cost.
For a full description of each field and the underlying API, see the official Google Cloud documentation: https://cloud.google.com/dataproc/docs/reference/rest/v1/projects.regions.autoscalingPolicies.
