Master Microservices with Spring Boot and Spring Cloud - Step 27 – Autoscaling Microservices with Kubernetes

The video tutorial explains how to implement autoscaling in Kubernetes using the Horizontal Pod Autoscaler (HPA). It begins with an introduction to autoscaling, followed by a comparison with manual scaling. The tutorial then provides a step-by-step guide to setting up autoscaling based on CPU utilization, including configuring minimum and maximum pod limits. It also covers monitoring the autoscaling process and demonstrates how to revert changes and clean up resources. The tutorial emphasizes the ease of using HPA for efficient resource management in Kubernetes.

What is the significance of the CPU percentage in the context of autoscaling?

How can you check the current status of the horizontal pod autoscaler in Kubernetes?

What happens when the CPU utilization exceeds the specified threshold in an autoscaled deployment?
