Installation

The easiest way to install a Custom Pod Autoscaler is using the Custom Pod Autoscaler Operator, follow the installation guide for instructions for installing the operator.

Once the operator is installed, you can now use the new CustomPodAutoscaler Kubernetes Resource to deploy autoscalers.

For an example, taken from the getting started guide and the example code in a file called cpa.yaml:

apiVersion: custompodautoscaler.com/v1
kind: CustomPodAutoscaler
metadata:
  name: python-custom-autoscaler
spec:
  template:
    spec:
      containers:
      - name: python-custom-autoscaler
        image: python-custom-autoscaler:latest
        imagePullPolicy: IfNotPresent
  scaleTargetRef:
    apiVersion: apps/v1
    kind: Deployment
    name: hello-kubernetes
  config:
    - name: interval
      value: "10000"

We can deploy this using kubectl apply -f cpa.yaml.
