Covers development and maintenance of components for automated scaling in Kubernetes. This includes automated vertical and horizontal pod autoscaling, initial resource estimation, cluster-proportional system component autoscaling, and autoscaling of Kubernetes clusters themselves.
The charter defines the scope and governance of the Autoscaling Special Interest Group.
Joining the mailing list for the group will typically add invites for the following meetings to your calendar.
- Regular SIG Meeting: Mondays at 16:00 Poland (weekly). Convert to your timezone.
The Chairs of the SIG run operations and processes governing the SIG.

If you want to demo at SIG Autoscaling, we have some guidelines:
-
Demos should talk about open-source projects relevant to Kubernetes autoscaling, such as:
- Prototypes for features to be added to Kubernetes
- Projects that fill gaps in our infrastructure that we might want to address
- Alternative approaches to what we do now that we may want to research
-
Demos and presentations should be geared towards a techincal audience.
-
Demos and presentations should not talk about company history or background, except to provide context for a usecase or issue:
-
"We're a retail company, and people don't shop as much during at 3am, so we generally see patterns of traffic around times" is acceptable.
-
Giving a company elevator pitch is not acceptable.
-
-
Non-demo presentations should focus on usecases and issues. A good rule of thumb is that content should be relevant in some form to a design doc or KEP's motivation or background sections. If it's not, it probably doesn't belong in the presentation.
-
Demos and presentations should not pitch products. If you want to talk about a product that's recently been open-sourced, focus on it from the perspective of why it's useful to the community.
