ZEISS Demonstrates the Power of Scalable Workflows With Ampere® Altra® and SpinKube

The Challenge The cost of maintaining a system capable of processing tens of thousands of near-simultaneous requests, but which spends greater than 90 percent of its time in an idle state, cannot be justified. Containerization promised the ability to scale workloads on demand, which includes scaling down when demand is low. Maintaining many pods among a plurality of clusters just so the system doesn’t waste time in the upscaling process contradicts the point of workload containerization.
