In episode 157 of KUBICAST, we dive deep into the topic of resource management in Kubernetes. This episode explores practices to optimize costs, scalability, and performance in dynamic environments. With special participation from Lucas Duarte, Solutions Architect at Amazon and Rafael Brito, Staff Engineer at StormForge, the episode is an essential guide for those looking to master the challenges of Kubernetes environments and implement effective resource management strategies. Episode Highlights Introduction to Resource Management The importance of resolving request limits to avoid production issues. Strategies to balance cost and reliability. Challenges of Microservices at Scale How to implement a gradual rollout and adjust metrics to ensure performance. The need for an efficient design in microservices, ensuring that each service performs its task effectively. Scaling in Kubernetes Detailed explanation of HPA (Horizontal Pod Autoscaler) and the role of the Scheduler. Strategies to ensure resilience and avoid bottlenecks. Efficiency with Carpenter Comparisons with other scaling tools, showing how Carpenter reduces costs and speeds up upgrades. Tips for cloud providers to maximize efficiency using this solution. Visibility and Management in Dynamic Environments The need for accurate metrics to manage resource consumption. The importance of clear alignment between teams to deal with frequent changes.
