If this\nsimple web service for the tutorial suddenly got an extra 1,000,000 requests per minute then you would want to run\nsome more Pods - but you also would not want to wait for each new Pod to launch. Starting the extra Pods in parallel\ncuts the time between requesting the extra capacity and having it available for use.\n```\n\nAttribution: Adapted from Kubernetes Documentation under CC-BY-4.0.
