Kubernetes v1.37 includes API support for horizontal autoscaling of workloads down to zero replicas. This feature is now Beta and enabled by default. A HorizontalPodAutoscaler (HPA) that uses a suitable object metric or external metric can now scale a workload to zero replicas, then bring it back when the metric changes.
