A Study of Kubernetes Pod Auto-scaling in Different Load Conditions
摘要
This paper dives into the world of pod autoscaling - basically how Kubernetes automatically adds or removes containers based on demand. We looked at three main approaches: HPA (adds more pods), VPA (gives pods more resources), and hybrid methods (does both). Our research shows that each method has its sweet spot depending on what kind of app you’re running and how traffic behaves. The cool part? You can save up to 58% on infrastructure costs while keeping your apps running smoothly!
