Virtual Nodes to auto-scale applications on Kubernetes
Submitted Apr 8, 2019
Technical level:
Advanced
Lets discuss about how to use custom metrics in combination with the Kubernetes Horizontal Pod Autoscaler(HPA) to autoscale an application. Virtual nodes (virtual-kubelet) let you scale quickly and easily run Kubernetes pods on Container Instances where you’ll pay only for the container instance runtime. Let’s see a demo application using ServiceMonitor for Prometheus, a HPA, and a custom container that will count the instances of the application and expose them to Prometheus. Finally, Grafana dashboard to view the metrics in real-time.
