You can make use of [environment variables](#helm-chart-variables) to automatically scale your pod replicas. +It's important to note that when a project is deployed to a Kubernetes cluster, +it relies on a Docker image that has been pushed to the +[GitLab Container Registry](../../user/project/container_registry.md). Kubernetes +fetches this image and uses it to run the application. If the project is public, +the image can be accessed by Kubernetes without any authentication, allowing us +to have deployments more usable. If the project is private/internal, the +Registry requires credentials to pull the image.
