Scale the platform automatically

Scale OpenShift Dev Spaces container replicas and cluster nodes automatically so that the platform grows and shrinks with developer demand.

Scale OpenShift Dev Spaces for high availability
Scale OpenShift Dev Spaces for high availability by defining a Kubernetes HorizontalPodAutoscaler (HPA) resource for OpenShift Dev Spaces operands. The HPA dynamically adjusts the number of replicas based on specified metrics.
Prevent workspace failures during node scaling
Prevent workspace failures during node scaling by configuring OpenShift Dev Spaces startup timeouts and pod annotations to work with the cluster autoscaler.
