When to Autoscale on Kubernetes

In recent talks we've gotten a ton of interest on the topic of autoscaling applications on Kubernetes (as people are starting to realize that just deploying in Kubernetes does not guarantee effective autoscaling). This post walks through the how and why of autoscaling and provides a rough decision criteria on when autoscaling is appropriate.

The issue proposes a website post about autoscaling applications on Kubernetes. Start by reviewing the website's existing post structure and related Kubernetes content; done means publishing a post that explains the how and why of autoscaling and gives rough criteria for when it is appropriate.
