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.
