Horizontal pod autoscaling helps resolve the uneven experiences users see when workloads go through spiky periods of utilization, meaning your pods can scale up and down based on CPU usage.

HTTP load balancer that enables routing traffic to different Kubernetes services based on HTTP traffic, such as using different services for sub-URLs.

A re-architected networking system that allows native iptables and reduces tail latency by up to 80%, virtually eliminating CPU overhead and improving reliability. Available in Beta, you can manually choose to enable this in GKE by running the following shell command:

for node in $(kubectl get nodes -o name | cut -f2 -d/); do
kubectl annotate node $node \
net.beta.kubernetes.io/proxy-mode=iptables;
gcloud compute ssh --zone=us-central1-b $node \
--command="sudo /etc/init.d/kube-proxy restart";
