Abstract
Methods (and systems) described herein provide a specialized technique for automatically scaling resources that provide data protection services to client systems. In some embodiments, the resource units (or pods) may be deployed on a platform (e.g., platform-as-a-service, or PaaS), which provides containerized services (and workloads) as part of a clustered computing environment (e.g., Kubernetes). The technique may scale the number of resource units used to perform data protection operations based on specialized criteria. For example, a particular service (e.g., redirection service) that utilizes resource units (e.g., pods) to perform functions may automatically increase (or decrease) the number resource units available to handle data management operations originating from the client systems.
