 <2> Ignore the `FailedScheduling` event to allow workspace startup to continue when a new node is provisioned. 
 
 == When the autoscaler removes a node
-To prevent workspace pods from being evicted when the autoscaler needs to remove a node, add the `"cluster-autoscaler.kubernetes.io/safe-to-evict": "true"` annotation to every workspace pod.
