TOPIC: KEDA, Scale Your Deployment on Your Own Terms

Kubernetes is a powerful platform for hosting various kinds of workloads. And in many cases these workloads vary their need of scale, for that Kubernetes has built-in functionality to scale these workloads based on their resource consumption; a pod consuming more CPU will be scaled to more instances.

However, there is no built-in way to scale workloads based on events that happen outside of the cluster; e.g. the length of a storage queue in the cloud. KEDA came in to fill this gap; with various scalers that come with the package, you can also write your own scaler that fits your needs.

In this session, we will understand what KEDA is, how it works, and how we can build our own scaler that suits our workloads' needs.
