- 2. 2 Overview
- 5. Platform Engineering, Scout24 Enabling product engineers to focus on devliering value to Scout24 consumers and customers.
- 6. What does an application need? 6
- 10. Keeping it simple 11 Custom resource Basic configuration Mandatory Tagging
- 14. Overview 15
- 16. But it doesn‘t scale to Infinity just yet… 17 Too much CPU consumption on the container instances Load Balancer response time (latency) increases, causing real time customer impact
- 17. Sharing resources not ideal… 18
- 20. Categorizing Services to their needs 21
- 21. Outcome 22 CPU Hard Limit • Latency sensitive run more reliably • Not burstable above reservation à Faster scaling on lower threshold CPU Burst Ability • Cannot rely on getting the CPU needed. • Consider hard limit as • Right-size containers
- 22. Next Steps
- 23. Evaluating EKS/K8S 24 • Tools/solutions/support with a huge community • More than a container orchestrator, but an ecosystem
