-- **Kubernetes Horizontal Pod Autoscaler**: Based on load characteristics, the Horizontal Pod Autoscaler (also known as the *horizontal autoscaler*) scales the pods of an application deployment to available nodes in the Kubernetes cluster. If no more nodes are available to be scheduled, the horizontal autoscaler instantiates a new node to which to schedule the pods. If the application load goes down, the nodes are scaled back again. For the Horizontal Pod Autoscaler to work, you must manually deploy the Metrics Server component in your AKS cluster. For more information about horizontal pod autoscaler rules, see [Kubernetes horizontal pod autoscaler](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/run-application/horizontal-pod-autoscale/).
