KubeHpaMaxedOut # Meaning # Horizontal Pod Autoscaler has been running at max replicas for longer than 15 minutes. Impact # Horizontal Pod Autoscaler won’t be able to add new pods and thus scale application. Notice for some services maximizing HPA is in fact desired. Diagnosis # Check why HPA was unable to scale: max replicas too low too low value for requests such as CPU? Mitigation # If using basic metrics like CPU/Memory then ensure to set proper values for requests.
