Abstract:
"
Containers are lightweight stand-alone self-contained units that package their
dependencies together for fine-grained resource sharing. It is a platform as a service that
uses OS-level virtualization. Due to this managing container lifecycle by automating
scaling, scheduling and managing the health of the container has become critical tasks of a
container as a service platform such as Kubernetes container orchestrater.
A flexible infrastructure is required for applications with dynamic workloads to leverage
performance measures and minimize resource costs. Request with various fluctuation
patterns has an impact on autoscaling the deployment to cater for the resource
requirements. This project finds a solution to adopt frequent service oscillation during
service requests into consideration when performing horizontal pod autoscaling in
Kubernetes. "
