## About scaling
- It is possible to use the HPA (Horizontal Pod Autoscaler) with CRDs
- But it is not always desirable
- The HPA works very well for homogenous, stateless workloads
- For other workloads, your mileage may vary
- Some systems can scale across multiple dimensions
(for instance: increase number of replicas, or number of shards?)
- If autoscaling is desired, the operator will have to take complex decisions
(example: Zalando's Elasticsearch Operator ([Video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lprE0J0kAq0)))

## Versioning
- As our operator evolves over time, we may have to change the CRD
