KEDA Examples

Name: nitinjain999/platform-skills
Rating: 67.2 (1 reviews)
Author: nitinjain999

Status: Stable

Working examples for KEDA (Kubernetes Event-Driven Autoscaling) ScaledObject and ScaledJob configurations.

Files

File	Trigger	Use case
scaledobject-sqs.yaml	AWS SQS + IRSA	Scale a Deployment based on SQS queue depth
scaledobject-prometheus.yaml	Prometheus + Cron	Scale on HTTP request rate with business-hours floor
scaledobject-kafka.yaml	Kafka SASL/TLS	Scale on consumer group lag
scaledobject-cron.yaml	Cron + Prometheus safety net	Scheduled scaling with weekday/weekend windows + spike protection
scaledjob-sqs.yaml	AWS SQS + IRSA	Create one Job per SQS message (batch processing)

Quick start

# Install KEDA
helm repo add kedacore https://kedacore.github.io/charts
helm upgrade --install keda kedacore/keda \
  --namespace keda --create-namespace --version 2.14.0

# Apply a ScaledObject
kubectl apply -f scaledobject-sqs.yaml

# Check status
kubectl get scaledobject -n orders
kubectl describe scaledobject orders-processor -n orders

Auth patterns

All examples use either IRSA (AWS) or a TriggerAuthentication referencing a Kubernetes Secret. Never commit static credentials to Git — use External Secrets Operator to render the Secret at runtime.
