Scaling Beyond Autoscaling: How We Grew Our Kubernetes Clusters from 20 to 250 Nodes

Learn how to effectively scale Kubernetes clusters beyond basic autoscaling in this 25-minute conference talk from CNCF. Discover practical strategies for growing infrastructure from a small cluster of 20-25 nodes to a large-scale deployment of 250 nodes managing over 5000 pods. Explore critical considerations beyond simple node and pod autoscaling, including which components require scaling attention, how to develop comprehensive scaling strategies, and methods to verify scaling impacts. Gain valuable insights from real-world experiences at InfraCloud Technologies as speakers Bhavin Gandhi and Ruturaj Kadikar share their blueprint for successful cluster scaling, common challenges encountered, and proven solutions for enterprises looking to expand their Kubernetes infrastructure.
