Auto scalable Kubernetes AWS Spot instances

Previously to create a self-hosted auto-scalable Kubernetes cluster you had to have some kind of tools outside, it had to be supported separately from the cluster. The community prepared Cluster autoscaler to the point where all the AWS infrastructure elements needed for cluster operation could be managed from within k8s. This allowed creating a solution that would deploy a dynamically changing cluster, depending on the workload, to economical spot instances, which would manage itself autonomously.

From the talk, you will learn how Cluster autoscaler is organized and what advantages can be gained from its use.
