Prerequisites⚓︎

There are no specific dependencies or prerequisites for using this file.

Usage⚓︎

To utilize the hpa.yaml file in a Kubernetes project, you can include it in the deployment manifests and customize the scaling behavior based on CPU or memory utilization.

Methods⚓︎

The hpa.yaml file does not contain traditional methods or functions, but it includes configuration settings for the Horizontal Pod Autoscaler. The key configuration parameters include: - minReplicas: The minimum number of pods to be maintained - maxReplicas: The maximum number of pods to be created - targetCPUUtilizationPercentage: The target average CPU utilization percentage for scaling - targetMemoryUtilizationPercentage: The target average memory utilization percentage for scaling

Useful details⚓︎

The file uses conditional statements to define scaling based on either CPU or memory utilization. It is a useful tool for ensuring optimal resource allocation in a Kubernetes environment.
