Phase 4 · Ch 8 — Hyper-Scale Observability & Automated Scaling

Chapter 8: Hyper-Scale Observability & Automated Scaling

Coming soon. This chapter covers Prometheus Operator, Thanos/Cortex, OpenTelemetry, multi-dimensional autoscaling (HPA, VPA, KEDA), Karpenter node provisioning, and Kubecost FinOps.

Planned Topics

  • Cloud-Native Observability: Prometheus Operator, Thanos/Cortex for long-term metrics, OpenTelemetry Collector
  • Event-Driven Scaling: HPA, VPA, KEDA (Kafka, SQS event sources)
  • Just-In-Time Node Provisioning: Karpenter for sub-second right-sized node provisioning
  • FinOps: Kubecost/OpenCost for namespace-level cost allocation
