Autoscaling with virtual node and Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)
summary
Azure announces virtual node (public preview) that links AKS to Azure Container Instances via the open source virtual kubelet, letting clusters burst to ACI without managing VMs. Demo shows horizontal pod autoscaler set to 10 requests per pod and the cluster spinning up 20–30 pods in seconds into ACI, all visible in the resource group and dashboards. This avoids waiting minutes to provision the 5–10 VMs that would otherwise be needed, and the burst scaling works end to end.
