Overview

Implement autoscaling strategies to automatically adjust resource capacity based on demand, ensuring cost efficiency while maintaining performance and availability.

When to Use

Traffic-driven workload scaling
Time-based scheduled scaling
Resource utilization optimization
Cost reduction
High-traffic event handling
Batch processing optimization
Database connection pooling

Quick Start

Minimal working example:

# hpa-configuration.yaml
apiVersion: autoscaling/v2
kind: HorizontalPodAutoscaler
metadata:
  name: myapp-hpa
  namespace: production
spec:
  scaleTargetRef:
    apiVersion: apps/v1
    kind: Deployment
    name: myapp
  minReplicas: 2
  maxReplicas: 20
  metrics:
    - type: Resource
      resource:
        name: cpu
        target:
          type: Utilization
          averageUtilization: 70
    - type: Resource
      resource:
        name: memory
        target:
          type: Utilization
// ... (see reference guides for full implementation)

Best Practices

✅ DO

Set appropriate min/max replicas
Monitor metric aggregation window
Implement cooldown periods
Use multiple metrics
Test scaling behavior
Monitor scaling events
Plan for peak loads
Implement fallback strategies

❌ DON'T

Set min replicas to 1
Scale too aggressively
Ignore cooldown periods
Use single metric only
Forget to test scaling
Scale below resource needs
Neglect monitoring
Deploy without capacity tests
