    Use Cases & Benefits

    • Provides autoscaling components that dynamically adjust Kubernetes cluster size and pod resource requests.
    • Enables efficient resource utilization by automatically scaling nodes and pod CPU/memory based on demand.
    • Use for automatically scaling Kubernetes clusters to ensure pods have sufficient node resources.
    • Use for adjusting pod CPU and memory requests dynamically to optimize application performance and cost.
    • Use for resizing deployment resources based on cluster node count using a simplified autoscaling approach.

    From the README

    This repository contains autoscaling-related components for Kubernetes.

    Cluster Autoscaler - a component that automatically adjusts the size of a Kubernetes Cluster so that all pods have a place to run and there are no unneeded nodes. Supports several public cloud providers. Version 1.0 (GA) was released with kubernetes 1.8.

    Vertical Pod Autoscaler - a set of components that automatically adjust the amount of CPU and memory requested by pods running in the Kubernetes Cluster. Current state - beta.

    Addon Resizer - a simplified version of vertical pod autoscaler that modifies resource requests of a deployment based on the number of nodes in the Kubernetes Cluster. Current state - beta.

    Charts - Supported Helm charts for components above.
