In the world of cloud-native applications, the ability to scale resources dynamically is not just a feature; it's a necessity. Kubernetes, the de-facto standard for container orchestration, provides powerful mechanisms to automate this process. This article delves into the three primary types of autoscalers in Kubernetes.

Code Snippets

Here is an example of a Horizontal Pod Autoscaler (HPA) definition:

apiVersion: autoscaling/v2
kind: HorizontalPodAutoscaler
metadata:
  name: my-app-hpa
spec:
  scaleTargetRef:
    apiVersion: apps/v1
    kind: Deployment
    name: my-app
  minReplicas: 2
  maxReplicas: 10
  metrics:
  - type: Resource
    resource:
      name: cpu
      target:
        type: Utilization
        averageUtilization: 80
