Is their a configuration in Kubernetes horizontal pod autoscaling to specify a minimum delay for a pod to be running or created before scaling up/down?
For example with something like:
# I am looking for a flag like this
--horizontal-pod-autoscale-initial-upscale-delay=5m0s
# Similar to these existing flags
--horizontal-pod-autoscaler-downscale-delay=2m0s
--horizontal-pod-autoscaler-upscale-delay=2m0s
Having as a result:
I have a situation where a Pod consumes lots of resources on start-up for bootstrapping (which is expected) but I don't want it scaled during this time, and once bootstrap is done it may be eligible for autoscaling.
This flag actually exists: --horizontal-pod-autoscaler-cpu-initialization-period
In addition you need to consider the readiness delay: --horizontal-pod-autoscaler-initial-readiness-delay
and the metric loop time, --horizontal-pod-autoscaler-sync-period
to calculate the total (max/min/average) delay.
