<p>i am relatively new to <code>kubernetes</code> and i am trying to catch things, in my understanding, a <code>pod</code> can have <code>single</code> container as well as <code>multiple</code> containers. Lets say i have a <code>pod</code> with <code>5</code> tightly coupled containers and is it possible to <code>autoscale</code> only <code>2</code> of them based on the <code>usage</code>. or <code>autoscale</code> will only happen <code>pod</code>wise.</p>

<p>No, the definition of a pod is co-located containers. You can vertically scale them differently but there will always be exactly one of each per pod.</p>
