In this workshop, with Almudena Vivanco, you will understand and apply best practices for tuning and optimising the performance of Kubernetes clusters and deployed applications. You will learn how to configure resource management effectively to ensure efficient CPU and memory usage, preventing waste and avoiding performance degradation. Additionally, the workshop will cover Kubernetes scalability mechanisms, including Horizontal and Vertical Pod Autoscalers (HPA & VPA), affinity rules, and storage optimisations. You will gain hands-on experience in monitoring and profiling Kubernetes workloads using tools like Prometheus and Grafana to identify bottlenecks and enhance overall system reliability and efficiency.
