title: GKE Autoscaling metrics in absolute value
body: <p>I am trying to set an horizontal pod autoscaling metrics on my GKE deployment based on absolute value but still didn't get the difference between the absolute value and the percentage :</p>
  <p>let's say i'm requesting <strong>500mCPU</strong> per Pod for a starting number of 3 pods.</p>
  <p>If i want to replace the autoscaling metrics of  <strong>&quot;50% of CPU Usage&quot;</strong> by an absolute value : will it be <strong>&quot;250 mCPU&quot;</strong> ?</p>
  <p>is it based on an average user per pod or is it the total use for all the pods ?</p>
  <p>thank you in advance</p>
