SIG Scalability in Kubernetes - Introduction and Deep Dive

Dive into a comprehensive exploration of Kubernetes scalability in this 43-minute conference talk by Marcel Zięba and Wojciech Tyczyński from Google. Gain insights into SIG Scalability's efforts, including defining scalability for Kubernetes, driving performance improvements, and maintaining infrastructure for scalability testing. Learn about tools like Cluster Loader 2, PerfDash, and Grafana used for measuring and monitoring scalability. Discover strategies for protecting and breaking scalability, addressing pod startup latency, and overcoming challenges. Explore opportunities for community engagement, contributing to documentation, and rewriting components. Conclude with a Q&A session to understand how SIG can better collaborate with the community and gather input on the roadmap.
