replicaCount

The replicaCount value adjusts the number of replicas that the GoKubeDownscaler deployment will have.

info

The default value of replicaCount is:

replicaCount: 1

Changing this to a different integer value will result in the deployment of the provided number of pods.

If this value is greater than one the --leader-election argument will automatically be set on all created pods. This will in turn create lease objects to ensure only one instance of the GoKubeDownscaler is active at any given time to avoid conflicts.

You can find more information on how leases enable leader election on the official Kubernetes documentation.
