Description
hello guys,
I am reading the document about the autoscaling of OpenFaas. In the chapter 'Autoscaling', https://docs.openfaas.com/architecture/autoscaling/#how-auto-scaling-works it gives a formula about the strategy of calculating the desire replics amount.
it says desired = current replicas * (current load / (target load per replica * current replicas))
however, the first current replicas in the formula and the current replicas in the denominator will always cancel out.
So how should I understand this formula?
Thanks
