When to Choose Vertical Pod Autoscaling (VPA)

Horizontal scaling adds more pods.
Vertical scaling gives existing pods more resources.
But when does VPA make sense in production-grade Kubernetes clusters?
1. Ideal Use Cases
2. How VPA Works
3. When Not to Use VPA
4. Best Practice
Bottom Line: Use VPA when stability, predictability, and right-sizing matter more than instant scale-out. It’s a powerful ally for optimizing resources — when used at the right time.
