On Openshift 4, I did setup HPA(horizontal pod autoscaler) with min pods as 3, which guarantees that at least three pods up and running all the time.
When I set replicas to zero in Deployment Config, no pods are running which is expecting since I change replicas to zero.
Question: Does HPA respect min pods condition only when replicas set to +ve value(non zero)? That is the behavior I have noticed. I am trying to get help to understand how replicas and HPA works.
