What to scale: servers, databases, containers, load balancers.
How to scale: horizontally/rightsizing, vertically, manually, automatically, ML based, predictive, serverless.

Why to scale: cost optimization, incidents avoidance, seasonality.
When to scale: auto-scaling policies and parameters, pre-warming to fight latency, correlating with business/app drivers.
Presentation includes a user case study of scaling parameters optimization: monitoring, modeling and balancing vertical and horizontal scaling, calculating optimal initial/desired cluster size and more.
