Elasticity and unlimited scalability are the cloud native holy grail. Now you might think: “That’s easy!!! I just run my containers on a Kubernetes cluster and I am done.” But is it really that simple? Turns out it’s not!

Your application as well as your cloud infrastructure including the Kubernetes cluster need to address and support these non-functional requirements. This session will have a practical look at the different ways of autoscaling in Kubernetes. We will give an overview of the technical foundations and prerequisites, and then showcase several frameworks and technologies that can be used to flexibly autoscale your cluster as well as your cloud native workloads.
