Cloud Burst Configuration -> Pod does not trigger auto-scale

[maaft]

I have two clusters:

1. on-prem: cluster with 2 GPU nodes
2. cloud: cluster with 0-5 GPU nodes (auto-scaling is active)

I tried to use the proposed solution for "cloud bursting":

1. I schedule two GPU workloads on on-prem with multicluster.admiralty.io/elect: "" annotation
2. both workloads will be scheduled by admiralty and are running in my on-prem cluster as expected
3. I schedule another GPU workload. This is now in Pending state forever, since admiralty doesn't even try to schedule on my cloud cluster due to apparent missing resources (Insufficient nvidia.com/gpu),

How can I tell admiralty to schedule to my cloud cluster, even though currently there are no free resources available so the scheduled Pod can trigger auto-scaling?

If this is not possible, I don't see the point of "Cloud Bursting" here since I'd need to have my cloud resources "always on" and pay for them.

Also I noticed, that even when my cloud cluster has nvidia.com/gpu = 1, this information is not propagated to the virtual-node in my on-prem cluster.

Is this (another) bug?

The virtual node should have capacity and allocatable including nvidia.com/gpu, as implemented here: https://github.com/admiraltyio/admiralty/tree/master/pkg/controllers/resources

So I suspect a configuration issue. Are you able to run the quick start on these clusters?
