Overview
Both Scale UP and Scale OUT are lightweight operations in AKS Clusters – as opposed to VM Scale Up or Scale OUT
Scaling Up
Scaling up, is simply a matter of allocating more cluster resources to each pod.
This is in stark contrast to VM scale up – which requires shut down and restart of instances
Scaling Out
Pods can be automatically scaled out using the horizontal pod autoscaler.
Cluster nodes (VMs) can also be autoscaled.
