12 Kubernetes Horizontal Pod Autoscaler
Kubernetes Horizontal Pod Autoscaler (HPA) allows automatic scaling (up and down) of the OUD servers. If load increases then extra OUD servers will be started as required. Similarly, if load decreases, OUD servers will be automatically shutdown.
For more information on HPA, see Horizontal Pod Autoscaling.
The instructions below show you how to configure and run an HPA to scale OUD servers, based
on CPU utilization or memory resource metrics.
Note:
If you enable HPA and then decide you want to start,stop, or scale OUD servers manually as per Scaling OUD Instances, it is recommended to delete HPA beforehand as per Deleting the Horizontal Pod Autoscaler.
