Scaling container resources automatically with VPA

This technical article explores Vertical Pod Autoscaling (VPA) in Kubernetes, contrasting it with Horizontal Pod Autoscaling (HPA). It provides a hands-on tutorial for implementing VPA on Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) Autopilot, leveraging new features like burstable QoS and fine-grained resource increments. The guide includes YAML configurations for deploying a sample workload and a load-generating job to demonstrate VPA's functionality in update or advisory mode.
