title: How does kubernetes help in reducing the cost of hosting?
body: <p>I am trying to understand this hosting and scaling stuffs , say if i have a website with huge traffic on weekends which would require 2 vps at least to handle the load.
  we could do either of the 2 things</p>
  <ol>
  <li>we could simply upgrade to a larger vps plan and forget it, which is an inefficient way and also a costlier option.</li>
  <li>Making 2 vps and setting up a load balancer and let it handle the traffic between 2 vps just like kubernetes does.</li>
  </ol>
  <p>So how are kubernetes helpful then if we are still paying for 2nd vps?
  Can kubernetes spin full vps before deploying news pods in it?</p>
