Supercharge Your Kubernetes Autoscaling with Custom Metrics—Vamshi Krishna Samudrala & Sravan Akinapally, American Airlines
Discover how to extend Kubernetes' Horizontal Pod Autoscaler (HPA) beyond traditional CPU and memory triggers to scale based on custom metrics in this exciting session. Learn to deploy custom metrics providers and configure the HPA for intelligent, application-centric scaling decisions. With live demos, you'll see firsthand how a sample app dynamically scales using metrics like queue length or requests per second. Whether you're looking to unlock more autonomous scaling or fine-tune your app's performance, this session will equip you with best practices and tools to optimize scaling based on your unique needs.
📍 Friday, November 15, 2024, 2:00pm -2:35pm MST
Reducing Cloud Cost for Multi-Tenancy Kubernetes Platform—Simon Ting & Sravan Akinapally, American Airlines
Join Simon and Sravan as they explore how American Airlines reduced the cost of their multi-tenancy Kubernetes platform while maintaining resiliency and a self-service model. In just 4 months, they lowered the Cost Per Utilized Core (CPUC) by 40%, despite a 300% platform growth. This session will dive into strategies for balancing cost, security, and observability without compromising performance or autonomy. Learn how they tackled cost control challenges, set realistic utilization goals, and optimized platform efficiency—all while reducing the carbon footprint. Discover key insights for building a cost-effective, scalable Kubernetes platform.
📍 Friday November 15, 2024, 4:55pm–5:30pm MST
Zero Downtime Upgrades at Scale: How Okta Manages Hundreds of Clusters Daily—Jérémy Albuixech & Kahou Lei, Okta
Learn how Okta manages zero-downtime Kubernetes upgrades across hundreds of clusters, each hosting over 130 services, with daily updates and node counts ranging from 20 to 400. Without a standard solution, Okta built its own approach, which reduces risk and enables quick rollbacks and canary rollouts. In this session, Kahou and Jeremy will share the key challenges and successes of their deployment method, offering insights into scaling, securing, and upgrading clusters with no downtime. Gain practical tips and see how open-source technologies power their scalable, resilient upgrade process.
📍 Friday November 15, 2024, 4:55pm–5:30pm MST
Watching the Watchers: How We Do Continuous Reliability at Grafana Labs—Nicole van der Hoeven, Grafana Labs
At Grafana Labs, even observability tools aren't immune to failure. In this candid talk, we'll share lessons learned from real-world production incidents, including how we solved a costly years-long mystery and scaled our systems to handle massive workloads—like 1.3 billion time series in Mimir and 324 TB of logs per day in Loki. Get an insider's look at our Grafana dashboards and discover how we’re improving reliability across our stack. Sometimes, failures teach us more than successes—join us to learn from our challenges and see how we’re continuously refining our observability tools.
