Compute Scale and Resilience Patterns

You rehearse scale-out events, controlled CPU spikes, and graceful degradation messaging for internal stakeholders.

What is inside

  • Autoscale rule drafting with signal choice notes
  • Probe failure injection in a sandbox
  • Rolling upgrade rehearsal checklist
  • Capacity reservation discussion (conceptual)
  • Stateless versus stateful workload tagging

Outcomes you can show a manager

  1. Write a scale event timeline others can follow
  2. List health probe pitfalls you have personally observed
  3. Prepare a stakeholder note after a simulated outage

FAQ

Are GPUs included?

No GPU SKUs are provisioned in this track.

Do we cover Kubernetes?

Only where AKS intersects with autoscale fundamentals; this is not a Kubernetes deep dive.

Honest limitation?

Large multi-region game-day simulations are out of scope for time reasons.

Experience notes

The probe failure injection mirrored what we saw last quarter—finally a lab that names the awkward pauses.
