Previously, when `GetObjectMetricReplicas` calculated the desired replica count, it multiplied the usage ratio by the current number of replicas. This method caused over-scaling when there were pods that were not ready for a long period of time. For example, if there were pods A, B, and C, and only pod A was ready, and the usage ratio was 500%, we would previously specify 15 pods as the desired replicas (even though really only one pod was handling the load). After this change, we now multiple the usage ratio by the number of ready pods for `GetObjectMetricReplicas`. In the example above, we'd only desire 5 replica pods. This change gives `GetObjectMetricReplicas` the same behavior as the other replica calculator methods. Only `GetExternalMetricReplicas` and `GetExternalPerPodMetricRepliacs` still allow unready pods to impact the number of desired replicas. I will fix this issue in the following commit.
Kubernetes
Kubernetes is an open source system for managing containerized applications across multiple hosts; providing basic mechanisms for deployment, maintenance, and scaling of applications.
Kubernetes builds upon a decade and a half of experience at Google running production workloads at scale using a system called Borg, combined with best-of-breed ideas and practices from the community.
Kubernetes is hosted by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF). If you are a company that wants to help shape the evolution of technologies that are container-packaged, dynamically-scheduled and microservices-oriented, consider joining the CNCF. For details about who's involved and how Kubernetes plays a role, read the CNCF announcement.
To start using Kubernetes
See our documentation on kubernetes.io.
Try our interactive tutorial.
Take a free course on Scalable Microservices with Kubernetes.
To start developing Kubernetes
The community repository hosts all information about building Kubernetes from source, how to contribute code and documentation, who to contact about what, etc.
If you want to build Kubernetes right away there are two options:
You have a working Go environment.
$ go get -d k8s.io/kubernetes
$ cd $GOPATH/src/k8s.io/kubernetes
$ make
You have a working Docker environment.
$ git clone https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes
$ cd kubernetes
$ make quick-release
For the full story, head over to the developer's documentation.
Support
If you need support, start with the troubleshooting guide, and work your way through the process that we've outlined.
That said, if you have questions, reach out to us one way or another.
