Replicaset Controller

The replicaset controller is part of the controller manager. The controller implements a watch loop that is constantly observing the cluster making sure that the current state matches the desired state - the desired number of pods.

Scaling

A ReplicaSet has a Scale sub-resource, allowing it to be controlled by a horizontal pod autoscaler.
