Metrics Server
Metrics Server is a Kubernetes component that collects data about resource utilization in the cluster and passes it to other Kubernetes components via the Metrics API. Horizontal Pod Autoscaling (Horizontal Pod Autoscaling) and Vertical Pod Autoscaling (Vertical Pod Autoscaling) works based on the data from Metrics Server. You can view the metrics using kubectl top. Autoscaling of node groups on cloud servers can be configured using Cluster Autoscaler. For monitoring , see logs in Managed Kubernetes cluster or use special applications like Prometheus.
Metrics Server is installed by default in Managed Kubernetes clusters version 1.27 and higher. You can update the cluster version on the cloud server.
Learn more about how Metrics Server works in the Kubernetes Metrics Server article in the Kubernetes documentation.
