Scaling Explained Through Kubernetes HPA, VPA, KEDA & Cluster Autoscaler

Discover the secrets behind effectively scaling your applications and servers with this dive into Kubernetes scaling mechanisms. This video demystifies the concepts of Horizontal Pod Autoscaler (HPA), Vertical Pod Autoscaler (VPA), Kubernetes Event-driven Autoscaling (KEDA), and Cluster Autoscaler. Learn when and how to use each tool, understand their differences, and catch a glimpse of real-world scenarios that showcase their capabilities.
