There are generally two levels of autoscaling involved with kubernetes.

Firstly, kubernetes is able to create multiple instances of your app as load increases and scale them out over all the nodes.

Secondly, the nodes your kubernetes cluster is running on can also autoscale. With terraform you can set up an AWS autoscaling group for example to automatically increase the size of your cluster as load increases.
