Kubernetes cluster is finally production-ready. Auto-scaling handles traffic spikes beautifully! Set up HPA based on custom metrics from our application. During Black Friday, the cluster scaled from 10 to 45 pods seamlessly. Zero downtime despite 10x normal traffic. Worth every hour of setup! #kubernetes #k8s #devops #autoscaling

Auto-scaling based on custom metrics. CPU usage alone wasn't enough for our workload! Implemented scaling based on queue depth and request latency. Predictive scaling for known traffic patterns (like daily peaks). The cluster now responds to actual business metrics. Right-sizing finally achieved! #autoscaling #cloud #aws #optimization

Implemented blue-green deployment. Zero-downtime releases are now our standard! AWS CodeDeploy handles the traffic shifting automatically. Rollbacks happen in seconds if health checks fail. The team deploys with confidence now - even on Fridays. Well, maybe not Fridays. #deployment #devops #cloud #zerodowntime

VPC peering between our staging and production accounts. Network isolation done right! Each environment has its own AWS account. Transit Gateway connects them when needed. Security groups are locked down to specific CIDR blocks. The network diagram finally makes sense to auditors! #aws #vpc #security #networking
