I have implemented k8s HPA on our EKS production cluster and it works fine. But we have a data science application in which the traffic increases quickly. So, Iooked into the below article on implementing the behavoir: ScalUp parameter to the controller manager.

https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/blob/master/keps/sig-autoscaling/20190307-configurable-scale-velocity-for-hpa.md#story-1-scale-up-as-fast-as-possible

Something similar to this:

behavior:
  scaleUp:
    policies:
    - type: percent
      value: 900%

I have looked around, but not sure if modifying the controller manager is possible in EKS or not (we have version 1.17).

Appreciate your support on this.
