AFAIS Autoscaler's task is very simple in the container case. It just need to create a kubernetes replication controller with the minimum number of replicas initially via CC and need to update the number of replicas of the same kubernetes replication controller (again via CC) based on the health stats and make sure that the number of replicas are maintained under maximum replicas count.
