How did John Mosquera utilize Docker and AKS to improve the scalability of a client's application?
assistant
John replaced Azure VMs with containers running on AKS, which allowed for optimized resource allocation and dynamic scaling. He implemented horizontal pod autoscalers (HPA) to handle traffic spikes efficiently. This enabled the platform to handle double its previous load without performance degradation. By using Docker and AKS, John enabled dynamic scaling through HPA, allowing the application to handle increased loads effectively.
