What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you identify why your HorizontalPodAutoscaler (HPA) is not scaling your Kubernetes deployments as expected, whether it's due to issues with metrics, configuration, or resource requests.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • HPA Status Check: Verifies the current status and targets of your HPA.
  • Metrics Server Health: Assesses the health and availability of the metrics-server.
  • Resource Request Validation: Ensures that target pods have necessary resource requests defined for percentage-based scaling.
  • Event Analysis: Parses HPA events to pinpoint scaling decisions, errors, or limitations.
  • Use Case: When your application experiences increased traffic but the number of pods managed by an HPA remains static, this Skill will guide you through the diagnostic steps to find the bottleneck.

Quick Start

Use the hpa-debug skill to diagnose why the HorizontalPodAutoscaler named 'my-hpa' in the 'default' namespace is not scaling.
