 Roughly speaking, HPA will increase and decrease the number of replicas
 (via the deployment) to maintain an average CPU utilization across all Pods of 50%
 (since each pod requests 200 milli-cores by [kubectl run](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/blob/{{< param "githubbranch" >}}/docs/user-guide/kubectl/kubectl_run.md), this means average CPU usage of 100 milli-cores).
