When scaled, the `kiali-k8s` charm will add multiple independent dashboard instances and load balance across them. This is transparent to the user - their requests will be distributed across the instances and they wont see the difference. This horizontal scaling allows for handling high load situations.

To scale Kiali, simply do:

```
juju add-unit kiali-k8s
juju remove-unit kiali-k8s --num-units 1
```
