Autoscaling On-Premises Bare Metal Kubernetes Clusters

Explore the challenges and solutions for autoscaling on-premises bare metal Kubernetes clusters in this informative conference talk. Learn how to combine three key projects - Cluster-API, Metal3-io, and Cluster Autoscaler - to achieve efficient resource management and cost reduction. Discover the benefits of Metal3-io, a CNCF sandbox project for managing bare metal servers, and Cluster-API for Kubernetes cluster lifecycle management. Understand how these projects work together to automate provisioning and deprovisioning of machines and clusters as Kubernetes resources. Gain insights into integrating Cluster Autoscaler to optimize physical resource utilization, such as concentrating application deployments during low usage periods. Delve into the details of each project, their interactions, and practical implementation strategies for enhancing your on-premises Kubernetes infrastructure.
