Kubernetes Scaling Strategies

[Raul Junco]

Great breakdown, Saurabh. Just a couple of random thoughts:

HPA is solid for most stateless services, but pairing it with Cluster Autoscaler is key for real elasticity.

VPA shines for memory-heavy jobs, just watch the restarts.

Thanks Raul. Great points!

VPA is mostly used for stateful applications where we have to persist the data?

Never used Kubernetes, but something that caught my attention is that the patterns are very similar to scaling any other infrastructure: Vertical, horizontal, etc.

Thanks for the mention!
