A Kubernetes cluster requires compute resources to run applications and these resources may need to increase or decrease depending on the application requirements. Kubernetes provides a built-in auto-scaling capability, but it's limited to metrics internal to the cluster, and it's complex to extend. KEDA comes in to fill this gap, it allows scaling workloads based on metrics that are outside of the cluster, like the length of a message queue.
Join us to learn more on how to build a complete and intuitive model lifecycle management experience alongside integrating with Azure DevOps.
We'll be hosting again on Teams, so if you'd like to join us, here's how you can - https://bit.ly/AzureSydneyUG-JoinUs - Please join our Teams tenant at least 24 hours prior to the event to avoid last minute challenges!
Our schedule for the evening currently looks like this:
5:30 - 5:35pm - Event Kick Off with BYOD (Bring Your Own Drink)!
5:35 - 5:55pm - What's new in Azure - Sam Alavi (Telstra Purple)
6:00 - 7:00pm - KEDA, the Kubernetes Event Driven Autoscaler - Emad Alashi (Telstra Purple)
Main Session: KEDA, the Kubernetes Event Driven Autoscaler
Event-driven applications are a key pattern for cloud-native applications, and KEDA allows any Kubernetes workload to benefit from the event-driven architecture model by elastic provisioning of capacity without the need to manage the infrastructure, and intelligently scale an event-driven application hosted in Kubernetes.
In this session learn what KEDA is, how it works, how to use it to scale a Kubernetes workloads, and experience through a demo how it fits nicely with Azure AKS and virtual kubelets.
