How to Scale a Cluster With Auto Scaling in the Cloud
In Kubernetes, you have the concept of the cluster auto scaling or the cluster itself can either acquire more nodes or VMs. Is that a use case for this model? What I always tell my customers that are looking into these propositions is that, okay, you're buying a piece of kit of hardware that is not as scalable as you would have it in the public cloud. And indeed, with auto scaling of clusters, hardware that sits on your floor has a certain limit. It can only scale to that what the hardware actually has available, which is different in public cloud. Be sure that you have set limits, parameters that control your costs in cloud.
