As we have already done, we entrust the php-apache application to HPA and create a replica of infinite-calls. In this case we limit ourselves to creating only 2 replicas, because we want to test the reactivity of the cluster at a medium-low intensity load. As mentioned in the introductory part of this chapter, the data are the result of tests carried out on 3 different flavors, shown in descending order.

We note that the reaction time of the cluster, from the rest position to the plateau and vice versa, is about 4-5 minutes. Of , regardless of the flavor used. Of course, the same behavior can also be seen by analyzing the metrics obtained by Grafana (the stress namespace is the one used for our tests).
