Kubernetes unknown field “behavior”

Question

I\'m creating a HorizontalPodAutoscaler in Kubernetes and I need to configure the downscale stabilization window to be smaller than the default. The code used and error are belo

Answer 1

You read the docs incorrectly. There is no such object like behavior thus the error why applying the yaml and that's why it's missing from Api reference.

Here you have details regarding the algorithm that is being used for scaling.

But I think you are thinking about this Support for cooldown/delay

--horizontal-pod-autoscaler-downscale-stabilization: The value for this option is a duration that specifies how long the autoscaler has to wait before another downscale operation can be performed after the current one has completed. The default value is 5 minutes (5m0s).

Note: When tuning these parameter values, a cluster operator should be aware of the possible consequences. If the delay (cooldown) value is set too long, there could be complaints that the Horizontal Pod Autoscaler is not responsive to workload changes. However, if the delay value is set too short, the scale of the replicas set may keep thrashing as usual.
