Eliminate Kubernetes node scaling lag with pod priority and over-provisioning
Introduction In Kubernetes, the Data Plane consists of two layers of scaling: a pod layer and a worker node layer. The pods can be autoscaled using Horizontal Pod Autoscaler (HPA) or Vertical Pod Autoscaler. Nodes can be autoscaled using Cluster Autoscaler (CA) or Karpenter. If worker nodes are running at full capacity and new pods […]
