Kubernetes Observability With Kube-State-Metrics
Kube-State-Metrics is only one part of the Kubernetes metrics ecosystem. Metrics-Server is another commonly discussed component that you should also include in your observability strategy. Whereas Kube-State-Metrics reports metrics about the states of objects in your cluster, Metrics-Server exposes real-time CPU and memory resource utilization metrics for your Nodes and Pods.

How to test Kubernetes autoscaling
Before deploying anything into this namespace, it’s important first to verify that the metrics server is deployed and configured in your cluster. This metrics server is part of how Kubernetes implements autoscaling rules. Check whether it’s installed by running:

26 Top Kubernetes Tools
Metrics Server is a Kubernetes addon that collects CPU and memory resource utilization information at the Node and Pod level. It's a lightweight, single-cluster, Kubernetes-only alternative to more complex monitoring solutions like Prometheus.

Upgrading Hundreds of Kubernetes Clusters
The last one is mostly an observability stack with Prometheus, Metric server, and Prometheus adapter to have excellent insights into what is happening on the cluster. You can reuse the same stack for autoscaling by repurposing all the data collected for monitoring.
