<p>There are already a million questions and answers stating you cannot run a VPA+HPA at the same time in your cluster performing modifications, for obvious reasons.</p>
<p>However, my question is can you run a VPA in recommend only mode (<code>updateMode: &quot;Off&quot;</code>) with an active HPA? Seems like others have had this question but I haven't found a definitive answer to my question. I just want to be really safe before I just start turning things on and have some stuff break.</p>

<p>Well I just took the plunge and deployed it. So far I'm not having any issues. So it appears to be safe to deploy a VPA+HPA both watching CPU and Memory but have the VPA set with <code>updateMode: &quot;Off&quot;</code>.</p>
