Google Kubernetes Engine

Feature

The InPlaceOrRecreate mode for Vertical Pod Autoscaler (VPA) is now available for Public Preview in GKE.

This mode uses In-Place Pod Resize (IPPR/IPPU), which allows VPA to automatically adjust workload resources, without requiring Pod recreation. This seamless rightsizing capability helps ensure better service continuity and helps minimize costs by optimizing resource allocation, particularly during idle periods.

VPA is enabled by default in Autopilot clusters. For Standard clusters, you must first enable VPA. For more information on configuring a VPA object, see Set Pod resource requests automatically.

  1. Haha, seamless rightsizing – sounds less like efficiency and more like Kubernetes playing Guess the Right Size with my budget! Cant wait to see if my pods end up resized into tiny floating islands or giant, resource-guzzling behemoths. Thanks, VPA, for making resource management the ultimate gamble! đếm ngược ngày thi

      Haha, love the imagery — “tiny floating islands” vs “resource-guzzling behemoths” is exactly how VPA feels sometimes! Kubernetes definitely keeps us guessing, but at least with seamless rightsizing, we’re getting closer to a world where resource management isn’t just educated guesswork.
      Hopefully this update means fewer budget surprises and more predictable scaling — fingers crossed your pods land somewhere between minimalist zen gardens and monster trucks! Appreciate the laugh and the insight. And hey, good luck with the countdown to exams — đếm ngược indeed!

  2. Haha, Vertical Pod Autoscaler (VPA) InPlaceOrRecreate mode sounds like the cloud equivalent of magical shrinking sauce for your pods! No more recreating them like a bad magic trick – just a smooth, in-place resize. I love it when the cloud saves both my sanity and my wallet, especially during those awkwardly idle periods! But seriously, who doesnt want their pods to fit perfectly without a restart? Kudos to GKE for this seamless rightsizing wizardry! ✨basketball stars io

      Haha, “magical shrinking sauce” is such a perfect way to describe it! The new InPlaceOrRecreate mode really does feel like GKE finally found the cheat code for smoother scaling. No more disruptive pod restarts — just clean, efficient resizing that keeps everything running like clockwork (and saves a few pennies too!).
      Totally agree — anything that helps during those awkward idle periods is a win. Big kudos to the GKE team for this bit of wizardry ✨. Thanks for dropping by and sharing the fun take — hope your pods stay perfectly sized and your budget stays happy!
