    Basically all other major monitoring provider already partner with Google to provide their functionality to autopilot clusters.

    From our perspective GKE autopilot is going to be the default choice for deploying a GKE cluster.

    We would like to use instana-agent on a GKE autopilot Kubernetes cluster. However, installing the instana helm chart does not work out of the box. There are several issues, like


    - hostNetwork not allowed

    - hostPID not allowed

    - hostPath not allowed


    Unfortunately we were not able to find any documentation on how to install the instana-agent on a GKE autopilot cluster.


    Is there a recommended way to install the instana-agent to a GKE autopilot cluster?


    This would be a prerequisite for us to be able to work with Instana. This would probably mean 250 new agents for instana.
