Cloudbursting is one of the most useful features of cloud computing for applications with high traffic volumes during only some hours in a day, or only during some days in a month. Kubernetes as of release 1.9 supports both application auto-scaling based on metrics such as CPU utilization and cluster node auto-scaling based on application workload (pods) needs. Kubernetes also supports cluster federation, which enables binding of multiple clusters into a single observable unit from the point of view of a user. This presentation will discuss how we’ve used these features to reliably burst from a priority/low cost cloud cluster to another, using Kubernetes. We’ll introduce a possible spec, a reference design, discuss the missing pieces and a provide a demo.
