Hi, i am working on academic project in which i have been asked to deploy a host firewall integrated with iptables and ndpi on Docker. Now i want to fully orchestrate that firewall with kubernetes having a feature of autoscaling based on network traffic or ping requests to that firewall in a container.
kindly anyone tell how i am supposed to do that? do i need to enable some custom metrics ?## Cluster information:
