Someone asked for the operator to be able to create a HorizontalPodAutoscaler (HPA) for Kiali. The HPA will be able to scale up and down the Kiali based on whatever specs the user wants.
See:

This enhancement is done and ready to be merged - I just have to press the "Big Green Buttons".
But, before I do this, I want to ask if anyone has any reservations about this. The only question I have is with the UI - what happens if Kiali new pods are created (or current pods destroyed) as part of the auto-scaling... will the UI session somehow get screwed up if the UI requests are routed to the new Kiali pod (or a different pod if the current one was destroyed).
I know we don't have server-side storage, so this probably isn't a problem. But I just want to make sure. So I'm asking everyone if you can see a problem with having multiple Kiali pods running (and having the pods scale up and down).
