Mikel Münnekhoff: Mastering EKS Autoscaling Complexity from a Platform Perspective
Mikel will explain in-depth how his team addresses the challenge of autoscaling clusters in a centralized EKS distribution for a diverse set of requirements from different application teams. The talk shows how to give developers the options to choose between on-demand and spot instances, different CPU architectures and even serverless nodes, per workload, as easy as adding a label, on enterprise scale.

After transitioning from Java development to the DevOps and cloud areas, he builds scalable, flexible and secure platforms and helps migrating and operating diverse applications with those platforms. Mikel's work centers on providing tech, but also knowledge and support to make his projects succeed.
