Claim 0:
1. A computer-implemented method when executed by data processing hardware causes the data processing hardware to perform operations comprising:
receiving, from a distributed computing system, a system metric for computing resources associated with a pod deployment of containerized applications hosted at the distributed computing system, each pod of the pod deployment executing one of the containerized applications, the pod deployment having a deployment size that specifies a number of pods in the pod deployment;
determining whether the system metric satisfies a threshold resource metric, the threshold resource metric indicating a target resource utilization for the pod deployment of containerized applications;
when the system metric fails to satisfy the threshold resource metric, scaling the pod deployment by decreasing the number of pods in the pod deployment based on adjusting the deployment size of the pod deployment; and
when the system metric satisfies the threshold resource metric, maintaining the deployment size for the pod deployment.
