Hi@akhtar,

MiniShift can autoscale a deployment or a deployment configuration based on the current load on the application pods, by means of a HorizontalPodAutoscaler resource type. The recommended way to create a horizontal pod autoscaler resource is using the oc autoscale command as shown below.

$ oc autoscale dc/hello --min 1 --max 10 --cpu-percent 80
