    The Cluster Proportional Autoscaler (CPA) is a horizontal pod autoscaler that scales replicas based on the number of nodes in the cluster. Unlike other autoscalers, it does not rely on the Metrics API and does not require the Metrics Server. Additionally, unlike other autoscalers we saw, a CPA is not scaled with a Kubernetes resource but instead uses flags to identify target workloads and a ConfigMap for scaling configuration. The following diagram illustrates the components of the CPA:

    Namespacing each environment would give you isolation, depending on how your service discovery works within the environment. You could consider the horizontal proportional autoscaler (or maybe KEDA) and hook it up to a metric for the queue depth. https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/cluster-proportional-autoscaler
  • Kubernetes Cluster Over-Provisioning: Proactive App Scaling

    If we want to configure dynamic overprovisioning of a cluster (e.g. 20% of resources in the cluster) then we need to use Horizontal Cluster Proportional Autoscaler.

What are some alternatives?

When comparing autoscaler and cluster-proportional-autoscaler you can also consider the following projects:

karpenter-provider-aws - Karpenter is a Kubernetes Node Autoscaler built for flexibility, performance, and simplicity.

k8s-prometheus-adapter - An implementation of the custom.metrics.k8s.io API using Prometheus
