Kubernetes helps ship software faster to users and rapidly respond to their requests. Typically, developers design a Kubernetes cluster’s capacity according to the load users are estimated to generate on it. However, if the number of user requests grows faster than you estimated, the cluster might run out of resources, leading to the service slowing down and users getting frustrated.
Manually allocating resources does not enable you to respond quickly to an application’s changing needs. Kubernetes provides various autoscaling tools you can use to ensure your clusters can automatically handle the load.
