container scaling and load balancing traffic

Hi,
For one container everything is clear (connect to kafka or other services), but now I scale it up to 5 containers, here is my question, how traffic is load balancing between containers ?

THX

There are many container technologies, and many container load balancing technologies. You need to provide some information about your configuration. For example, are you using Linux Containers? Docker? Virtuozzo? Proxmox? Kubernetes? Mesos? Docker Swarm?

A few other question you may want to address: How is the application implemented? How do you scale up? What does "load" mean in the context of your application?

I'm using kubernetes ( service ) , there are multiple endpoints

How do you scale up? Can you share the manifests?

I used HPA , like this
kubectl autoscale deployment bserver --cpu-percent=50 --min=1 --max=10

and it works, under the stress, here I wanted to know how the Kube balance traffic among the new containers, and is there any other approach for load balancing?

The autoscaler and the deployment abstraction don't balance load. You need a service to do that, or implement your own load balancing.

I'm using service, plus autoscaling. I defined a service for one of my microservices and I wanted in case of high load, it scales up to 5. so others still see that microservice through that service I defined, my question is : how traffic is load balancing among those 5 containers? and is there any other way to change it.

I'm not sure, but it seems kube-proxy is load balancing among containers (L4 round robin ) and also there is no way to change it

Which type is the service?

It's a cluster Service, with multiple endpoints

It's not possible to help you if you don't provide information about your setup. If, for example, the service is of type loadbalancer, it uses load balancing functionality of the cloud in which the K8s cluster is running.

You may also have defined an ingress, which also performs load balancing.

As suggested by berndbausch you can use any nginx ingress, istio, linkerd or traefik.
Let us know if you have K8s cluster or its a minikube/microk8s
