I use google container engine and recently upgrade the kubernetes cluster to 1.7.0
However, i got this error when i try to set autoscale to my application

> deis autoscale:set web --min=15 --max=50 --cpu=60 -a MY-APP
Applying autoscale settings for process type web on MY-APP... Error: Unknown Error (400): {"detail":"Invalid version: '1.7+'"}

I had the same problem because some custom deployments of Kubernetes add the '+' to the minor version and the version() function in deis controller takes the complete minor including the '+' so when the HPA resource checks the api version you get the error because it compares with "1.3.0"

So I deployed a custom controller with scheduler's version function modified by me taking only the first element of the minor's string. Is not a good solution since the development side but you can bypass this situation while the people include cases like that in the controller main line.

can confirm this works on 1.7.2:

$ deis autoscale:set web --min=1 --max=3 --cpu=60
Applying autoscale settings for process type web on test-app... done

$ kubectl version

as well as on version 1.7.5:
