Open Stack

Let me try to explain it from a design perspective:

1. Auto scaler: Now cluster auto scaler talks to Magnum resize API
directly to scale, see
https://github.com/kubernetes/autoscaler/blob/master/cluster-autoscaler/cloudprovider/magnum/magnum_manager_impl.go#L399

2. Auto healer: As you know auto scaler only cares about the worker
node, it won't scale the master nodes. However, auto healer can repair
both master nodes and worker nodes. With worker nodes repairing, Magnum
auto healer uses magnum resize API. But because the magnum resize api
doesn't support master nodes resizing, so the master nodes repairing is
done by Heat stack update. magnum auto healer will mark some resources
of the master node as unhealthy, then call Heat stack update to rebuild
those resources.
