  • Explore autoscaling options for Kubernetes resources, and learn how to use KEDA to autoscale containerized applications in Azure Kubernetes Services (AKS).

    By the end of this module, you'll be able to:

    • Understand the concept of event-driven auto scaling and how it applies to Kubernetes.
    • Deploy KEDA within AKS.
    • Deploy and configure a built-in KEDA scaler.
    • Understand K8S scaling options, including KEDA, Cluster Autoscaling, and Horizontal Pod Autoscaling.
  • Explore strategies that you can use on Azure to optimize your cloud-native application-development process by using Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS).

    In this module, you will:

    • Optimize costs on AKS by using zero-scaled node pools.
    • Optimize costs on AKS by using autoscaled spot node pools.
    • Manage costs with Azure Policy on AKS.
