Add support for horizontal pod autoscaling #1676

SUMMARY

Allows the operator to create horizontal pod autoscaling resources for the web and task deployments.

It does not provide guidance on how to configure the HPA as those details are very cluster and use case specific.

ISSUE TYPE
  • New or Enhanced Feature
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

This code does not change the default behavior of the operator. A horizontal pod autoscaler will not be created unless it is specifically configured.

The minimum configuration required is to set the option task_max_replicas or web_max_replicas to be an integer greater than task_replicas or web_replicas respecitively. This should create a HPA using the default values for a HPA which on OpenShift monitors CPU consumption.

A good configuration for HPA will require requests, limits, and health probes for the the web and task pods to be implemented.

Patch looks good to me. Most users of awx are probably not deploying constantly so keeping a bunch of web or task pods running does not make sense. It makes sense only when they are used. In theory with this the community can collectively save big on vCPU requested bloats that site idle for the majority of time.

This would really help me out. We run a lot of jobs on schedule at particular after hours times so increasing the resources available dynamically is really needed
