In the ever-evolving world of DevOps, Kubernetes stands as a cornerstone technology. But as applications grow in complexity, so does the challenge of efficiently scaling resources. Enter Kubernetes Event-Driven Autoscaling (KEDA) – a game-changer in the landscape of cloud computing and DevOps. This session delves into how KEDA revolutionizes autoscaling by enabling Kubernetes applications to respond dynamically to real-world events. We will explore the architecture and integration of KEDA within Kubernetes, demonstrating how it complements traditional scaling mechanisms and provides a more nuanced, responsive approach to workload management. Attendees will gain insights into practical implementations of KEDA, exploring real-world scenarios where KEDA excels, such as handling fluctuating message queues or events streaming from various sources like Apache Kafka. By blending theory with hands-on examples, this talk aims to equip DevOps professionals with the knowledge and skills to implement KEDA in their Kubernetes environments, leading to more efficient, cost-effective, and performance-optimized applications.
