Trigger a Kubernetes HPA with Prometheus metrics

In this article, you’ll learn how to configure Keda to deploy a Kubernetes HPA that uses Prometheus metrics. The Kubernetes Horizontal Pod Autoscaler can scale pods based on the usage of resources, such as CPU and memory. This is useful in many scenarios, but there are other use cases where more advanced metrics are needed – like the waiting connections in a web server or the latency in an API.

Observing container environments with Cloud Operations

Did you know GKE isn’t the only place you can run containers in Google Cloud? In this episode of Engineering for Reliability, we show three options for running containers, as well as how to instrument each one for observability with Cloud Operations. Watch to learn how Cloud operations can help visualize metrics and analyze logs emitted by container workloads running on GKE, on Cloud Run, and on an Anthos cluster!

Monitoring Kubernetes with Prometheus

Kubernetes is among the emerging open-source products expanding in the market at a very fast rate. It is a portable, extensible, and open-source platform used for managing containerized workloads and services. Companies are widely adopting it for the development of their major products. Docker is always used for running Kubernetes servers on local systems for testing purposes. It becomes essential for companies to monitor their Kubernetes container.

A foundational element of modern operational practices is having monitoring tooling in place to track, analyze, and alert on important metrics.
