NimbusGuard: A Novel Framework for Proactive Kubernetes Autoscaling Using Deep Q-Networks

ArXi:2604.11017v1 Announce Type: cross Cloud native architecture is about building and running scalable microservice applications to take full advantage of the cloud environments. Managed Kubernetes is the powerhouse orchestrating cloud native applications with elastic scaling. However, traditional Kubernetes autoscalers are reactive, meaning the scaling controllers adjust resources only after they detect demand within the cluster and do not incorporate any predictive measures. This can lead to either over-provisioning and increased costs or under-provisioning and performance degradation.
