Control Theory for SRE

Wednesday, 2 October, 2019 - 14:0014:30

Ted Hahn, TCB Technologies, and Mark Hahn, Ciber Global

Abstract: 

Control Theory is a long and well-studied discipline in engineering. Nearly every large scale industrial process has dedicated control engineers, creating and maintaining safety and quality systems by assuring that parameters remain within bounds—or alert appropriately.

This session will teach you how to create a PID (Proportional, Integral, Derivative) controller to autoscale your Kubernetes deployment based on a custom target. This controller ensures smooth scale-up and scale down.
