autoscaler VS kaniko

We use Cluster Autoscaler to automatically adjust the number of nodes (cluster size) based on your actual usage to ensure efficiency. Additionally, we deploy Vertical and Horizontal Pod Autoscalers to scale your applications' resources as their needs change automatically.

> * Hetzner: cheap, good service, the finest pets in the world, no cattle

You can absolutely do cattle with Hetzner. They support imaging and immutable infrastructure. They don't have a native auto scaling equivalent, but if you're using Kubernetes, they have a cluster autoscaler: https://github.com/kubernetes/autoscaler/blob/master/cluster...

Here we take the VPA as a starting point to analyze the design and implementation principles of the VPA in Autoscaler. The source code for this article is based on Autoscaler HEAD fbe25e1.

Autoscaling over EKS can be accomplished using either the cluster-autoscaler project or Karpenter. If you want to use Spot instances, consider using Karpenter, as it has better integrations with AWS for optimizing spot pricing and availability, minimizing interruptions, and falling back to on-demand nodes if no spot instances are available.

Autoscaling is already provided on OVH, but we don't use it for now. Autoscaler has to be manually installed on the AWS/EKS cluster.

do you mean this: https://github.com/kubernetes/autoscaler/blob/master/vertical-pod-autoscaler/pkg/recommender/README.md

Read more about this scaler in detail here!

We have a default node group of Linux hosts, but there's a secondary nodegroup of Windows hosts that is typically scaled down to 0. When a team's build runs, a pod is scheduled based on their definition. Cluster-autoscaler will check the nodeSelector and automatically spin up a node from that nodegroup if necessary.

I am running a Kubernetes cluster(AWS EKS one) with Autoscaler pod So that Cluster will autoscale according to the resource request within the cluster.

If all you need to do is build container, you can use https://github.com/GoogleContainerTools/kaniko

Kaniko for building the container images

kaniko

You should maybe look into Kaniko or use some other build tool

If you are using the docker socket just for building container images, you might want to look into kaniko. It doesn't use docker to build images. If you use the socket also for starting containers (we are actually doing that in our CI pipelines), you could think about limiting the pods Kubernetes schedules on a node (you can change the default of 110 using the kubelet config file).

Check out Kaniko for building containers https://github.com/GoogleContainerTools/kaniko . Only issue is it doesnt support windows containers.

It took less than 5 minutes to install. It quickly analysed the repo and identified easy ways to make the project more secure. Priya Wadhwa, Kaniko

I'd suggest to take a look at the Kaniko project, combined with custom container images in Lambda functions.

kaniko is a tool that allows you to build container images inside Kubernetes without the need for the Docker daemon. Effectively, it allows you to build Docker images without docker build.

Kubernetes prefers to pull containers from registries. You may be able to work around it by specifying a local image in your Kube manifest. Both https://github.com/GoogleContainerTools/kaniko and/ or https://www.devspace.sh/ may help.
