Pull request overview

This PR adds a new blog post about autoscaling KAITO inference workloads on AKS using KEDA. The post introduces the alpha autoscaling feature released in KAITO v0.8.0 and provides a comprehensive guide for enabling intelligent autoscaling based on service monitoring metrics.

Key Changes

  • New blog post documenting KAITO inference workload autoscaling with KEDA
  • Includes architecture overview, prerequisites, installation steps, and quickstart guide
  • Demonstrates using the new InferenceSet CRD with KEDA's external scaler pattern

LLM inference service is a basic and widely used feature in KAITO. As the number of waiting inference requests increases, it's necessary to scale more inference instances to prevent blocking inference requests. Conversely, if the number of waiting inference requests declines, consider reducing inference instances to improve GPU resource utilization. Kubernetes Event-driven Autoscaling (KEDA) is well-suited for inference pod autoscaling. It enables event-driven, fine-grained scaling based on external metrics and triggers. KEDA supports a wide range of event sources (like custom metrics), allowing pods to scale precisely in response to workload demand. This flexibility and extensibility make KEDA ideal for dynamic, cloud-native applications that require responsive and efficient autoscaling.

To enable intelligent autoscaling for KAITO inference workloads using service.monitoring metrics, use the following components and features:

Is service.monitoring a typo here, should it include a dot between service and monitoring?

Minor suggestions mostly around casing of "KEDA KAITO Scaler" throughout the doc.
