Intelligent Cluster Autoscaling
Smart Kubernetes cluster autoscaling that predicts demand, optimizes node types, and reduces costs by 40-60% while maintaining application performance.
Traditional Autoscaling Limitations
Standard cluster autoscaling reacts to resource pressure but ignores cost optimization, workload patterns, and predictive scaling opportunities.
Reactive Scaling Only
Default cluster autoscaler waits for pods to be unschedulable before adding nodes, causing performance degradation during scale-up.
No Cost Optimization
Standard autoscaling focuses on resource availability without considering cost-effective instance types, spot instances, or pricing optimization.
Inefficient Node Selection
Single node group approach leads to suboptimal instance type selection and poor resource utilization across different workload types.
Traditional Autoscaling Issues
Cost-Optimized Predictive Autoscaling
