Here I am trying to deploy a dockerized web service through helm chart in kubernetes custom cluster(created through kubeadm).So when it is getting autoscaled , it is not creating replicas according to replica count.

This is my deployment file.

apiVersion: apps/v1beta2
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: {{ template "demochart.fullname" . }}
  labels:
    app: {{ template "demochart.name" . }}
    chart: {{ template "demochart.chart" . }}
    release: {{ .Release.Name }}
    heritage: {{ .Release.Service }}
spec:
  replicas: {{ .Values.replicaCount }}
  selector:
    matchLabels:
      app: {{ template "demochart.name" . }}
      release: {{ .Release.Name }}
  template:
    metadata:
      labels:
        app: {{ template "demochart.name" . }}
        release: {{ .Release.Name }}
    spec:
      containers:
        - name: {{ .Chart.Name }}
          image: "{{ .Values.image.repository }}:{{ .Values.image.tag }}"
          imagePullPolicy: {{ .Values.image.pullPolicy }}
          ports:
            - name: http
              containerPort: 80
          volumeMounts:
            - name: cred-storage
              mountPath: /root/
          resources:
{{ toYaml .Values.resources | indent 12 }}
    {{- with .Values.nodeSelector }}
      nodeSelector:
{{ toYaml . | indent 8 }}
    {{- end }}
    {{- with .Values.affinity }}
      affinity:
{{ toYaml . | indent 8 }}
    {{- end }}
    {{- with .Values.tolerations }}
      tolerations:
{{ toYaml . | indent 8 }}
    {{- end }}
      volumes:
        - name: cred-storage
          hostPath:
            path: /home/aodev/
            type:

Here is the values.yaml

replicaCount: 3

image:
  repository: REPO_NAME
  tag: latest
  pullPolicy: IfNotPresent

service:
  type: NodePort
  port: 8007

ingress:
  enabled: false
  annotations: {}
    # kubernetes.io/ingress.class: nginx
    # kubernetes.io/tls-acme: "true"
  path: /
  hosts:
    - chart-example.local
  tls: []
  #  - secretName: chart-example-tls
  #    hosts:
  #      - chart-example.local

resources: 
  # We usually recommend not to specify default resources and to leave this as a conscious
  # choice for the user. This also increases chances charts run on environments with little
  # resources, such as Minikube. If you do want to specify resources, uncomment the following
  # lines, adjust them as necessary, and remove the curly braces after 'resources:'.
  limits:
    cpu: 1000m
    memory: 2000Mi
  requests:
    cpu: 1000m
    memory: 2000Mi

nodeSelector: {}

tolerations: []

affinity: {}

Here are my running pods which includes heapster and metrics server as well as my webservice.

kubectl get pods before autoscaling

Below is the hpa file

apiVersion: autoscaling/v1
kind: HorizontalPodAutoscaler
metadata:
 annotations:
 name: entitydetection
 namespace: kube-system
spec:
  maxReplicas: 20
  minReplicas: 5
  scaleTargetRef:
    apiVersion: apps/v1beta2
    kind: Deployment
    name: entitydetection
  targetCPUUtilizationPercentage: 50

So I gave replica count as 3 in deployment and minReplicas as 5 and maxReplicas as 20, targetCPUUtilization as 50% in hpa. So when cpu utilization is exceeding 50% it is randomly creating replicas and not according to replica count.

So below 2 replicas are created when CPU exceeded 50% which are having 36s age .It should ideally create 3 replicas .What is the problem?
