OpenShift Auto-Scaling Setup Guide

The document describes how to configure automatic scaling on an OpenShift cluster. It provides commands to create ClusterAutoscaler and MachineAutoscaler custom resources to enable horizontal pod autoscaling and adding/removing worker nodes when resource usage thresholds are met. It then demonstrates the autoscaling by deploying a load testing application, scaling the deployment, and observing the pods and nodes scale up and down automatically based on resource usage.
