Dynamic Workload Balancing and Resource Optimization in Kubernetes

In this talk, Chris will explore the challenges and benefits of dynamically balancing and optimizing the resources of a Kubernetes cluster. He will explain how Kubernetes uses a scheduler to assign pods to nodes based on various factors, such as resource requests, limits, affinity, anti-affinity, and taints. He will also demonstrate how to use tools and techniques, such as horizontal pod autoscaling, cluster autoscaling and the descheduler, to improve the performance and efficiency of your cluster. From this talk, you will learn how to leverage the power and flexibility of Kubernetes to achieve optimal resource utilization and workload distribution.

Policy as [versioned] code

In this talk Chris will trace back the origins of how policies are often incepted, how it can get out of hand, be slow if not impossible to update and measure compliance, and often lead us to question of is the policy helping or hindering. From this talk you'll learn how to use a software development pattern and product ways of thinking towards how your organization can manage policy; achieve continual updates to policy allowing the risk mitigations to move as fast as the risk does, not get in the way and be easy to measure compliance.

Proactive cluster autoscaling in Kubernetes

Scaling nodes in a Kubernetes cluster could take several minutes with the default settings. In this webinar, Chris will demo live how you can configure Pod Priorities and a placeholder pod to pre-warm node instances for quicker scaling. By the end of the session, you will master how to align the Horizontal Pod Autoscaler and Cluster Autoscaler for blazing fast scaling even with occasional traffic spikes.
