Metrics Server is a scalable, efficient source of container resource metrics for Kubernetes' built-in autoscaling pipelines.
Metrics Server collects resource metrics from Kubelets and exposes them in the Kubernetes apiserver through the Metrics API, for use by the Horizontal Pod Autoscaler and Vertical Pod Autoscaler.
Metrics Server enables the following features:
-
CPU/Memory-based horizontal autoscaling (Learn more about Horizontal Autoscaling)
-
Automatic adjustment/recommendation of resources required by containers (Learn more about Vertical Autoscaling)
