Ask the HPA for more API Pods
What does this MR do?
- Our Apdex has been suffering since the move to Kubernetes, due to this we need to add capacity to relieve the pressure the current Pods are dealing with.
- Modifying our scale target should bump up the amount of Pods utilized
by each cluster by 12%.
- We are currently hoving between 33 and 38 Pods across all clusters
- This change should induce roughly 5 additional Pods across each cluster
Addresses: gitlab-com/gl-infra/production#5359 (closed) observed low apdex
