Autoscaling is one of the most compelling features of the Kubernetes platform. Once configured correctly, it saves administrators time, prevents performance bottlenecks, and helps avoid financial waste. However, setting up autoscaling requires knowledge of numerous configuration parameters that can confuse even experienced Kubernetes administrators—that’s why we created this guide explaining autoscaling in detail. We have dedicated one article to each type of autoscaling, and included configuration instructions and YAML file examples along the way.
