Karpenter - the new groupless cluster autoscaler, that can dramatically improve the efficiency and cost of running workloads on your cluster.

The cloud is all about elasticity and right-sizing. Microservice architectures are keen to be implemented in containers, and Kubernetes arguably the most common orchestrator to run them. These containers, being (usually) stateless, are good candidates to use the cloud elasticity, so scaling them should be a well-known task. We’ll talk about different scaling approaches and focus on Karpenter - the new groupless cluster autoscaler, that can dramatically improve the efficiency and cost of running workloads on your cluster.

Note: The session will include demo part - to compare with autoscaler and how to work with karpenter.

The talk was accepted to the conference program
