 For example, if the current metric value is `200m`, and the desired value
 is `100m`, the number of replicas will be doubled, since `200.0 / 100.0 ==

 replicas, since `50.0 / 100.0 == 0.5`.  We'll skip scaling if the ratio is
 sufficiently close to 1.0 (within a globally-configurable tolerance, from
 the `--horizontal-pod-autoscaler-tolerance` flag, which defaults to 0.1).
