Hi all,
Replication factor for pods will created on the same instances or any other
Alistair Mackay:
What do you mean? e.g. add more replicas to a deployment?
The answer is maybe 
Depends on decisions by the kube-scheduler as to where each pod goes.
You can influence this with node selectors, tolerations, affinity/anti-affinity, topology spread constraints on your pod template. Using such techniques, it is even possible to make a deployment behave like a daemonset - that is, one pod on each node.
