<p>We are considering to use HPA to scale number of pods in our cluster. This is how a typical HPA object would like:</p>
<pre><code>apiVersion: autoscaling/v1
kind: HorizontalPodAutoscaler
metadata:
 name: hpa-demo
 namespace: default
spec:
 scaleTargetRef:
   apiVersion: apps/v1
   kind: Deployment
   name: hpa-deployment
 minReplicas: 1
 maxReplicas: 10
 targetCPUUtilizationPercentage: 20
</code></pre>
<p>My question is - can we have multiple targets (scaleTargetRef) for HPA? Or each deployment/RS/SS/etc. has to have its own HPA?</p>
<p>Tried to look into K8s doc, but could not find any info on this. Any help appreciated, thanks.</p>

<p>One <code>HorizontalPodAutoscaler</code> has only one <code>scaleTargetRef</code> that hold one referred resource only.</p>
