Horizontal Pod Autoscaler (HPA)

Horizontal Pod Autoscaler allows Kubernetes to scale the number of replicas of deployments in response to configured metrics.

This feature conflicts with the operators ability to manage the number of static replicas to create for each deployment.

The use of the settings below will tell the operator to not manage the replicas field on the identified deployments even if a replicas count has been set for those properties in the operator resource.

Name	Description	Default
web_manage_replicas	Indicates operator should control the replicas count for the web deployment.	true
task_manage_replicas	Indicates operator should control the replicas count for the task deployment.	true

Recommended Settings for HPA

Please see the Kubernetes documentation on how to configure the horizontal pod autoscaler.

The values for optimal HPA are cluster and need specific so general guidelines are not available at this time.
