How to make pod assignment to thousands of nodes every day easier - Tasdik Rahman

This talk presents the challenges and solutions associated with Kubernetes scheduling at scale within New Relic, where tens of thousands of nodes and hundreds of clusters are managed. The speaker discusses the complexities end users face when specifying scheduling rules and how their team built a scheduling engine by extending Kubernetes using mutating admission webhooks. Attendees will gain insights into translating user-defined requirements into native Kubernetes scheduling constraints and explore the tradeoffs involved in this system. By the end of the session, participants will be equipped to better navigate the intricacies of Kubernetes and optimize pod assignment processes for large-scale applications.
