-R, --recursiveProcess the directory used in -f, --filename recursively. Useful when you want to manage related manifests organized within the same directory

-f, --filename <File>Filename, directory, or URL to files identifying the resource
-k, --kustomize <Kustomize Dir>Process the kustomization directory. This flag can't be used together with -f or -R

--cpu-percent <INT (Percent)>The target average CPU utilization (represented as a percent of requested CPU) over all the pods. If it's not specified or negative, a default autoscaling policy will be used

--max <INT>The upper limit for the number of pods that can be set by the autoscaler. Required
--min <INT>The lower limit for the number of pods that can be set by the autoscaler. If it's not specified or negative, the server will apply a default value
--name <arg>The name for the newly created object. If not specified, the name of the input resource will be used
