Abstract

This study compares CPU-based and custom metric-based scaling methods in Kubernetes, showing that custom metrics tailored to application needs can enhance scalability and efficiency. Findings reveal that, at certain scaling thresholds under dynamic network traffic, custom metrics reduce average latency by 85% to 87% compared to CPU-based scaling.
