How to autscale in GKE

Question

I want to know how can auto-scale pods(depending upon resource usage like CPU,Memory etc) in Google Container Engine? The auto-scalar should kick in when the CPU load reaches a certain threshold.

Answer 1

There are two kinds of scaling:

1. Scaling nodes in the cluster depending upon the containers in the cluster
2. and scaling the number of pods in the cluster

Here's a link to the official docs including how to scale according to the resource usage: https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/autoscaler/
