+# Installing and Configuring VPA for Vertical Scaling of Fluent Bit and Promtail Pods
+
+Since log forwarder pods like fluentbit & promtail are designed to have 1 pod per node via a ReplicaSet instantiation they are unable to be Horizontally Scaled when reaching their resource limits. They can still be Vertically scaled once [VPA](https://repo1.dso.mil/big-bang/apps/sandbox/vpa) is installed.
+
+# 1.Prerequisites:
+- Kubernetes cluster running version 1.14 or later
+- kubectl command-line tool configured to access the cluster
+
+# 2.Install the Vertical Pod Autoscaler
+  1. Run the following commands to install the VPA components from the package repo:
+
+    
+    git clone https://repo1.dso.mil/big-bang/apps/sandbox/vpa.git
+    cd vpa
+    helm install vertical-pod-autoscaler chart/
+    
+  2. Add package via the BigBang 2.0 `packages:` key:
+    
+    packages:
+      vpa:
+        enabled: true
+        git:
+          repo: "https://repo1.dso.mil/big-bang/apps/sandbox/vpa.git"
+          tag: LATEST_TAG
+          path: chart
+        ...
+    
+
+# 3.Configure Fluent Bit Deployment
+For Fluentbit, make sure the following settings are added to the packages Helm Chart [values.yaml](https://repo1.dso.mil/big-bang/product/packages/fluentbit/-/blob/main/chart/values.yaml_) file:
+
+```yaml
+autoscaling:
+  vpa:
+    enabled: true
+    annotations: {}
+    # List of resources that the vertical pod autoscaler can control. Defaults to cpu and memory
+    controlledResources: []
+    # Define the max allowed resources for the pod
+    maxAllowed:
+      cpu: 200m
+      memory: 100Mi
+    # Define the min allowed resources for the pod
+    minAllowed:
+      cpu: 200m
+      memory: 100Mi
+```
+
+# 4.Configure Promtail Deployment
+For Promtail, make sure the following settings are added to the Packages Helm Chart [values.yaml](https://repo1.dso.mil/big-bang/product/packages/promtail/-/blob/main/chart/values.yaml) file:
+
+```yaml
+# -- config for VerticalPodAutoscaler
+vpa:
+  enabled: true
+  # kind -- DaemonSet or Deployment
+  kind: DaemonSet
+  annotations: {}
+  # List of resources that the vertical pod autoscaler can control. Defaults to cpu and memory
+  controlledResources: []
+  # Define the max allowed resources for the pod
+  maxAllowed:
+    cpu: 200m
+    memory: 100Mi
+  # Define the min allowed resources for the pod
+  minAllowed:
+    cpu: 200m
+    memory: 100Mi
+  updatePolicy:
+    # Specifies whether recommended updates are applied when a Pod is started and whether recommended updates
+    # are applied during the life of a Pod. Possible values are "Off", "Initial", "Recreate", and "Auto".
+    updateMode: Auto
+```
+
+# 5.Verify VPA Status
+Check the VPA status to ensure it is functioning correctly and providing recommendations.
+
+Run the following command:
+
+```shell
+    kubectl describe vpa -A 
+```
+
+Look for the Conditions section and verify that the status is Healthy.
+
+# 6.Monitor and Observe Scaling
+Monitor the cluster and observe how the VPA scales the Fluent Bit and Promtail pods based on resource utilization.
+Review the pod resource utilization metrics using commands like kubectl top pods or monitoring tools like Prometheus and Grafana.
+
+By following these steps, you should be able to install and configure the Vertical Pod Autoscaler (VPA) to vertically scale Fluent Bit and Promtail pods in your Kubernetes cluster when additional resources are needed and headroom is available. Adjust the configurations and policies based on your specific requirements and application characteristics.
