- February 5, 2025

One of the biggest challenges in cloud-native infrastructure is scaling Kubernetes workloads efficiently. When should you scale? How do you ensure cost optimization while maintaining performance? In my latest YouTube video, I explore:
🔹 Horizontal vs. vertical scaling: Which approach is best for your workloads?
🔹 Autoscaling policies using Kubernetes HPA (Horizontal Pod Autoscaler)
🔹 Cluster scaling strategies for handling sudden traffic spikes
🔹 Best practices for cost-efficient scaling without over-provisioning
Whether you’re managing a small-scale microservices architecture or an enterprise-grade cluster, understanding Kubernetes scaling is crucial for performance and cost management.
