Using HorizontalPodAutoscaler Without Metrics Adapter
Explore how the HorizontalPodAutoscaler manages pod scaling by relying solely on CPU and memory usage metrics without a metrics adapter. Understand the limitations of this approach, including restricted metric types and time ranges, and how scaling decisions are made based on these metrics. This lesson prepares you to extend scaling capabilities with custom metrics adapters in future lessons.

Limitations of using HPA without metrics adapter #
If we do not create a Metrics Adapter, Metrics Aggregator only knows about CPU and memory usage related to containers and nodes. To make things more complicated, that information is ...
