Session 1: KEDA - Mastering Scale to Zero
KEDA is an Event Driven Autoscaler for workloads running on Kubernetes. It provides mechanisms to scale those workloads depending on external systems, such as messaging or telemetry systems.

This talk will provide an introduction to KEDA and the underlying concepts. The usage of KEDA will be demonstrated on Azure with an AKS cluster running a demo application, which is autoscaled through KEDA. We will see how to setup KEDA and configure it to scale the application depending on the amount of messages in an Azure Service Bus Topic
