About this talk
This talk explores the complexities of achieving elasticity and unlimited scalability in cloud-native applications, countering the assumption that deploying containers on a Kubernetes cluster suffices. The session takes a comprehensive and practical approach to autoscaling in Kubernetes, addressing the critical non-functional requirements that must be met by both applications and cloud infrastructure. Participants will learn about the technical foundations and prerequisites for effective autoscaling, along with an overview of various frameworks and technologies designed to support flexible autoscaling for clusters and cloud-native workloads.
