Hands-on Autoscaling with Kubernetes

§ Overview

About this video

What You'll Learn

  1. Compare when to use HPA with resource, custom, and external metrics for cost-aware pod scale behavior.
  2. Set up Metrics Server, Prometheus Adapter, and RabbitMQ-backed external adapters to feed Kubernetes autoscaler inputs.
  3. Walk through VPA installation and update modes to tune per-pod CPU and memory requests automatically over time.

Guy Templeton, co-chair of SIG Autoscaling, walks through Kubernetes autoscaling end to end: horizontal pod autoscaling on resource, custom (Prometheus adapter), and external (RabbitMQ) metrics, plus vertical pod autoscaling.
