What this PR does:
Adds a
HorizontalPodAutoscaler
for the ingesters.https://cortexmetrics.io/docs/guides/capacity-planning/ describes that ingester memory grows as series are added, so this autoscaler tracks memory usage to make scaling decisions.
https://cortexmetrics.io/docs/guides/ingesters-scaling-up-and-down/#scaling-down says that "adding more ingesters to a Cortex cluster is considered a safe operation", so this autoscaler behavior is configured to allow adding one ingester pod at a time, but does not automatically scale down.
