Scaling Kubernetes with Karpenter: Advanced Scheduling with Pod Affinity & Volume Topology Awareness

One feature that draws people to Kubernetes is its ability to scale automatically. Auto-scaling Kubernetes is an essential part of your cloud-native strategy. In addition, you may be dealing with use cases requiring advanced Kubernetes scheduling requirements like pod affinity, pod anti-affinity, and volume topology awareness. In this video, I'll show you how to automatically scale the compute resources of an Amazon EKS cluster using Karpenter, with a focus on meeting scheduling requirements with Kubernetes features like inter-pod affinity and dynamic provisioning of volumes for your container workloads.
