  title: Kubernetes Attach a HorizontalPodAutoscaler to a Deployment
  summary: Confirm a deployment exists, create an HPA targeting it, and list the namespace's autoscalers.
  description: >-
    Handing replica control to the autoscaler is the step that turns a fixed
    deployment into an elastic one. The workflow resolves the target deployment
    first, because an HPA whose scaleTargetRef points at a missing resource is
    accepted by the API server and then silently fails to scale, creates the
    autoscaler with explicit min and max replica bounds, and lists the
    namespace's HPAs to confirm registration. Every step spells out its request
    inline so the flow can be read and executed without opening the underlying
    OpenAPI description.

  summary: Create a HorizontalPodAutoscaler bound to an existing deployment.
  description: >-
    Reads the deployment to validate the scale target, creates an HPA
    referencing it by kind and name with min/max replica bounds, and lists the
    namespace's autoscalers to confirm the new HPA is registered.

      Read the deployment the HPA will target. An HPA pointing at a
      non-existent target is created successfully but never scales anything.
