Optimizing Kubernetes Resources for Your Application 📈⚙️📉

Introduction:
Efficiently managing resources is crucial for deploying applications in Kubernetes. In this blog post, we’ll explore Kubernetes resource management, providing sample scripts for defining resource limits and configuring Horizontal Pod Autoscaler (HPA) for better scalability and management.

Understanding Resources:

In Kubernetes, resources refer to CPU and memory allocations, essential for running applications smoothly.

# Resource Limits
resources:
  limits:
    cpu: "2"
    memory: "512Mi"
  requests:
    cpu: "1"
    memory: "256Mi"

📊 Resource Limits ensure that each container in your application pod doesn’t exceed 📈2 CPU and 512Mi memory, with a 📉minimum request of 1 CPU and 256Mi memory.

Horizontal Pod Autoscaling (HPA):

Horizontal Pod Autoscaler (HPA) automatically adjusts the number of pod replicas based on observed metrics such as CPU utilization.

# Horizontal Pod Autoscaler (HPA)
apiVersion: autoscaling/v2beta2
kind: HorizontalPodAutoscaler
metadata:
  name: app-autoscaler
spec:
  scaleTargetRef:
    apiVersion: apps/v1
    kind: Deployment
    name: app-deployment
  minReplicas: 1
  maxReplicas: 3
  metrics:
  - type: Resource
    resource:
      name: cpu
      target:
        type: Utilization
        averageUtilization: 50

⚖ Horizontal Pod Autoscaler (HPA) automatically adjusts the number of pods based on demand. It ensures there are between 1 to 3 pods based on CPU utilization, targeting an average utilization of 50%📈.
