Auto-scaling party:VPA, HPA, KEDA, nodes, how do they dance?-Nic Vermande & Oluebube Princess Egbuna

This talk explores the complexities of leveraging Kubernetes for effective auto-scaling in cloud environments. Nic introduces key technologies and their approaches, including the Vertical Pod Autoscaler, Horizontal Pod Autoscaler, and Kubernetes-based Event Driven Autoscaling. He demonstrates how to configure various components of cloud applications for auto-scaling, covering stateless containers, databases, and serverless functions. Additionally, Nic discusses how to measure auto-scaling effectiveness using metrics like throughput and latency, providing attendees with the insights needed to optimize costs while ensuring high performance in their cloud applications.
