Abstract
A method and apparatus for autoscaling a custom resource of a containerized application handling system utilizes a metric value defined for a system object of the custom resource to scale the system object of the custom resource. An API request for the metric value is sent from an autoscaler to a control plane of the containerized application handling system to receive the metric value, which is compared to a desired metric value. A target scale metric value is then determined based on the comparison and posted in a database of the containerized application handling system. The system object of the custom resource is scaled by an operator of the containerized application handling system based on the posted target scale metric value.
