👁 How to Scale AMD GPU Workloads on DOKS using KEDA

Introduction

As cloud-native applications grow in scale and sophistication, the ability to dynamically allocate computing resources becomes critical—especially for workloads that require GPUs. Kubernetes provides built-in autoscaling, but it often falls short when you need to scale based on external or custom metrics. This is where KEDA (Kubernetes Event-Driven Autoscaling) excels. KEDA allows your Kubernetes workloads to scale based on real-time metrics from sources like Prometheus.

In this tutorial, we’ll walk through how to autoscale an AMD GPU-based workload running on DigitalOcean Kubernetes (DOKS) using Prometheus and KEDA. This setup allows you to react to live metrics and optimize GPU utilization efficiently and cost-effectively.
