How Event Driven Autoscaling in Kubernetes Can Combat Climate Change

on YouTube ↗38m

" summary

Shows that event driven autoscaling actually cuts cloud waste and carbon by scaling on message load using KEDA on AKS with Azure Service Bus (demo uses a .NET worker). A queue spike of 100 simultaneous orders triggers KEDA to translate message counts (threshold 5) into HPA actions and the order processor scaled to 8 pods within seconds, then scales back to zero. Also covers Kafka for exactly‑once, data controls with LakeFS and observable metrics.
