Part II: KEDA, Scale Your Deployment on Your Own Terms
Kubernetes is a powerful platform to host various kind of workloads. And in many cases these workloads vary their need of scale, for that Kubernetes has a built-in functionality to scale these workloads based on their resources consumption; a pod consuming more CPU will be scaled to more instances.
However, there is no built-in way to scale workloads based on events that happen outside of the cluster; e.g. the length of a storage queue in the cloud. KEDA came in to fill this gap; with various scalers that come with the package, you can also write your own scaler that fits your needs.
In this workshop we will understand what KEDA is, how it works, and how we can build our own scaler that suits our workloads' needs.
