Ask the HPA for more API Pods

John Skarbek requested to merge jts/hpa-tune into master

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
