Web application is experiencing high traffic

Your web application is experiencing high traffic. How would you scale the application in Kubernetes?

Edit the Deployment: Use kubectl scale to increase the number of replicas in your Deployment.

kubectl scale deployment my-webapp --replicas=5        

• Deploy to Kubernetes: Apply the YAML file to the Kubernetes cluster using kubectl apply -f deployment.yaml.
• Expose the Application: Create a Service to expose the Deployment. You can use a LoadBalancer for external access.

kubectl scale deployment my-webapp --replicas=5        

Verify Scaling: Ensure that the new pods are created and running

kubectl get pods -l app=web        

Autoscaling (optional): Implement Horizontal Pod Autoscaler (HPA) to automatically scale based on CPU usage.

kubectl autoscale deployment my-webapp --cpu-percent=50 --min=3 --max=10
