In the k8s directory, autoscaler.yaml defines the autoscaler. It is configured to scale the number of pods between 1 and 10 based on the CPU usage of the pods. The CPU usage is measured over 30 seconds, and the target CPU usage is 50%. This means that if the CPU usage of the pods is over 50% for 30 seconds, then a new pod will be created. If the CPU usage is below 50% for 30 seconds, then a pod will be deleted.
This helps ensure that there is sufficient capacity to handle requests, but it does not guarantee that there will be sufficient capacity. If there is a sudden spike in requests, then the pods may not be able to handle the requests.
However, as GKE Autopilot will automatically scale the number of nodes in the cluster, there will likely be sufficient capacity to handle the requests.
