Dynatrace Metrics Based Scaler for KEDA (Kubernetes Event Driven Autoscaler) now available

andreas_grabner — Tue, 20 Aug 2024 06:50:07 GMT

Dear Dynatrace community

The KEDA Open Source Community has just released its latest version 2.15 which also includes the first officially supported Dynatrace Metrics Based Scaler: https://keda.sh/docs/2.15/scalers/dynatrace/

This allows you to use any Dynatrace Metrics Expression and use it natively with KEDA to autoscale your Kubernetes workloads.

We are working close with that community and have also encouraged them to extend this current implementation to also allow DQL based queries for auto-scaling.

Are there any plans to update/improve the current setup for containerized, auto-scalable private locations on K8s so that the synthetic metric adapter deployment no longer requires a K8s super-user role and instead uses the Dynatrace metrics-based KEDA scaler?

Hey Enrico, this is something we're researching at the moment. There's also a Product Idea for this that you might like to vote for. https://community.dynatrace.com/t5/Product-ideas/Deploying-containerized-synthetics-with-KEDA/idi-p/262491

Hi everyone. Just FYI - The KEDA community is currently implementing support for DQL - meaning - you will be able to specify any DQL statmenet for your scaling decisions. Here is the PR => https://github.com/kedacore/keda/pull/7376
