Autoscaling workloads

Horizontal autoscaling adds pods when a metric crosses a threshold. It only works if requests are set and your app starts quickly.

What this lesson covers

• Scale pods on CPU or custom metrics
• Tune thresholds to avoid flapping
• Combine pod autoscaling with cluster autoscaling

This lesson sits in Operating a Cluster, part of DevOps with Docker and Kubernetes. It assumes what came before it and leads directly into the next lesson in the module.
