KubeHpaReplicasMismatch # Meaning # Horizontal Pod Autoscaler has not matched the desired number of replicas for longer than 15 minutes. Impact # HPA was unable to schedule desired number of pods. Diagnosis # Check why HPA was unable to scale: not enough nodes in the cluster hitting resource quotas in the cluster pods evicted due to pod priority Mitigation # In case of cluster-autoscaler you may need to set up preemtive pod pools to ensure nodes are created on time.
