Explore strategies for optimizing Kubernetes deployments in this conference talk by Lukonde Mwila from AWS. Learn how to address challenges related to high availability, traffic management, and cost control in distributed environments. Discover techniques for spreading applications across zones and regions, implementing effective load balancing strategies, and managing cross-zone traffic costs. Gain insights into optimizing load balancing for varying traffic levels across different zones or regions. Understand how to leverage pod anti-affinity for improved scheduling, utilize Istio's locality-aware load balancing, and implement Karpenter's workload consolidation to overcome common deployment challenges. Acquire practical knowledge on automatically scaling clusters to match workload demands while maintaining scheduling constraints and preventing compute overhead in multi-zone or multi-region setups.
