在现代云原生应用架构中,应用的负载往往呈现波动性特征。传统静态资源配置方式既无法应对突发流量,又容易造成资源浪费。Kubernetes作为容器编排的事实标准,提供了一系列自动扩缩容机制来解决这一问题。本文将深入剖析三种核心扩缩容方案:HorizontalPodAutoscaler(HPA)、HorizontalPodCronscaler和EffectiveHorizontalPodAutoscaler(EHPA),并通过Java代码示例展示如何在实际项目中集成这些功能。
Pod自动扩缩容是指根据应用负载情况自动调整Pod实例数量的过程,主要分为两种模式:
本文聚焦水平扩缩方案,这是分布式系统中最常用的弹性伸缩方式。
HPA是Kubernetes内置的自动扩缩容控制器,其工作原理如下图所示:
[指标采集] → [指标聚合] → [决策引擎] → [执行扩缩]核心组件包括:
以下是一个典型的HPA YAML定义:
apiVersion: autoscaling/v2beta2
kind: HorizontalPodAutoscaler
metadata:
name: myapp-hpa
spec:
scaleTargetRef:
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
name: myapp
minReplicas: 2
maxReplicas: 10
metrics:
- type: Resource
resource:
name: cpu
target:
type: Utilization
averageUtilization: 50
- type: External
external:
metric:
name: requests_per_second
target:
type: AverageValue
averageValue: 1000使用Fabric8 Kubernetes Client与HPA交互:
import io.fabric8.kubernetes.api.model.autoscaling.v2beta2.HorizontalPodAutoscaler;
import io.fabric8.kubernetes.api.model.autoscaling.v2beta2.HorizontalPodAutoscalerBuilder;
import io.fabric8.kubernetes.client.DefaultKubernetesClient;
import io.fabric8.kubernetes.client.KubernetesClient;
public class HpaManager {
public static void createOrUpdateHpa() {
try (KubernetesClient client = new DefaultKubernetesClient()) {
HorizontalPodAutoscaler hpa = new HorizontalPodAutoscalerBuilder()
.withNewMetadata()
.withName("myapp-hpa")
.endMetadata()
.withNewSpec()
.withNewScaleTargetRef()
.withApiVersion("apps/v1")
.withKind("Deployment")
.withName("myapp")
.endScaleTargetRef()
.withMinReplicas(2)
.withMaxReplicas(10)
.addNewMetric()
.withType("Resource")
.withNewResource()
.withName("cpu")
.withNewTarget()
.withType("Utilization")
.withAverageUtilization(50)
.endTarget()
.endResource()
.endMetric()
.endSpec()
.build();
client.autoscaling().v2beta2().horizontalPodAutoscalers()
.inNamespace("default")
.createOrReplace(hpa);
}
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
createOrUpdateHpa();
}
}定时扩缩容特别适合以下场景:
方案类型 | 代表项目 | 特点 |
|---|---|---|
原生CronJob | Kubernetes CronJob | 需要自行实现控制器逻辑 |
第三方Operator | KEDA CronScaler | 开箱即用,功能丰富 |
自定义实现 | 内部开发 | 高度定制化 |
使用Spring Scheduler模拟定时扩缩逻辑:
import org.springframework.scheduling.annotation.Scheduled;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Component;
import io.fabric8.kubernetes.client.KubernetesClient;
import io.fabric8.kubernetes.client.dsl.ScalableResource;
@Component
public class CronScaler {
private final KubernetesClient client;
public CronScaler(KubernetesClient client) {
this.client = client;
}
@Scheduled(cron = "0 0 9 * * MON-FRI") // 工作日9:00扩容
public void scaleUp() {
ScalableResource<?> deployment = client.apps().deployments()
.inNamespace("default")
.withName("myapp");
deployment.scale(10); // 扩容到10个副本
}
@Scheduled(cron = "0 0 18 * * MON-FRI") // 工作日18:00缩容
public void scaleDown() {
ScalableResource<?> deployment = client.apps().deployments()
.inNamespace("default")
.withName("myapp");
deployment.scale(2); // 缩容到2个副本
}
}EHPA在HPA基础上增加了:
阿里云EHPA示例:
apiVersion: autoscaling.alibabacloud.com/v1beta1
kind: EffectiveHorizontalPodAutoscaler
metadata:
name: ehpa-demo
spec:
scaleStrategy: auto
scaleTargetRef:
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
name: php-apache
minReplicas: 1
maxReplicas: 10
metrics:

sampleInterval: "60s"
historyLength: "7d"通过Kubernetes Java客户端操作EHPA CRD:
import io.fabric8.kubernetes.api.model.ObjectMeta;
import io.fabric8.kubernetes.client.CustomResource;
import io.fabric8.kubernetes.client.dsl.base.CustomResourceDefinitionContext;
public class EhpaOperator {
private static final String EHPA_CRD_NAME = "effectivehorizontalpodautoscalers.autoscaling.alibabacloud.com";
public static void createEhpa(KubernetesClient client) {
CustomResourceDefinitionContext context = new CustomResourceDefinitionContext.Builder()
.withName(EHPA_CRD_NAME)
.withGroup("autoscaling.alibabacloud.com")
.withVersion("v1beta1")
.withPlural("effectivehorizontalpodautoscalers")
.withScope("Namespaced")
.build();
Map<String, Object> ehpaSpec = Map.of(
"scaleStrategy", "auto",
"minReplicas", 1,
"maxReplicas", 10,
"scaleTargetRef", Map.of(
"apiVersion", "apps/v1",
"kind", "Deployment",
"name", "myapp"
)
);
CustomResource ehpa = new CustomResource();
ehpa.setMetadata(new ObjectMeta());
ehpa.getMetadata().setName("myapp-ehpa");
ehpa.setAdditionalProperty("spec", ehpaSpec);
client.customResource(context).create("default", ehpa);
}
