Auto scaling in Kubernetes (Part 2)
In the first part of this post, we visited auto scaling using the metrics server. In part two, we will look at using custom metrics, specifically those from linkerd and ingress-nginx to perform auto scaling based on latency and requests per second.
One awesome tool that I got to learn a great deal more about during KubeCon EU is Linkerd 2. It’s simple to use and looks really promising. This post is about setting it up and the things I encountered during that process.
