Use case. Why is this important?

If there are lots of VPAs, they lead to lot's of PATCH-requests to the apiserver and, accordingly, etcd iops are growing.

Proposed Solution

Tune flow-control to limit PATCH requests to VPA resources and, probably, VPACheckpoints.

Research direction

Start by reviewing Kubernetes flow-control behavior and how the vertical pod autoscaler issues PATCH requests for VPA resources and VPACheckpoints. Determine the appropriate limits for apiserver requests and verify that PATCH traffic and associated etcd IOPS are constrained without disrupting VPA operation.
