HPA-Managed Workloads: Why the Obvious Waste Stays
Kubernetes teams often overprovision resources for HPA‑managed services, especially model‑serving workloads, because request settings double as scaling triggers. While the waste is visible, changing requests risks altering scaling behavior, leading teams to accept excess headroom for predictability. Standard rightsizing loops fail because they ignore the coupling between requests and HPA targets. Effective optimization requires treating requests and HPA thresholds as a single unit, coupled with clear visibility, guardrails, and trusted rollback mechanisms.
