What the file says
# GKE Workload Scaling This skill provides workflows and best practices for scaling applications on Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE). It covers manual scaling, Horizontal Pod Autoscaling (HPA), and Vertical Pod Autoscaling (VPA). ## Workflows ### 1. Manual Scaling Quickly scale a deployment to a fixed number of replicas. Useful for immediate manual intervention or testing. **Command:** ```bash kubectl scale deployment <deployment-name> --replicas=<number> -n <namespace> ``` ### 2. Horizontal Pod Autoscaling (HPA) Automatically scale the number of pods based on observed CPU utilization, memory utilization, or custom metrics. **Prerequisites:** - Metrics Server must be running (enabled by default on GKE). - Containers clearly define resource requests/limits. **Quick Command:** ```bash kubectl autoscale deployment <deployment-name> --cpu-percent=50 --min=1 --max=10 ``` **Manifest Approach (Recommended):** Use a YAML manifest for version-controlled configuration. See [assets/hpa-example.yaml](assets/hpa-example.yaml) for a template. ```bash kubectl apply -f assets/hpa-example.yaml ``` **Custom Metrics & External Metrics:** …
