Scale a Deployment Using Replicas

Scale a Deployment Using Replicas

You can update a deployment to change the number of replicas as shown below.

Example Customization

Adding more Pod provisioning helps with resiliency. The following example file sets the number of replicas for ess-pod-provision deployment to 2 .

1. Go to your ESS installation directory:

   cd ${HOME}/ess

2. Modify the kustomization.yaml (i.e., step 3 of the Applying Your Customizations procedure). Specifically, add the highlighted content to the kustomization.yaml file under the replicas key:\

   {% hint style="info" %} Tip

   If replicas key does not exist in kustomization.yaml , add the key replicas as well. {% endhint %}

   # kustomization.yaml in your ESS installation directory
   
   # ...  Preceding content omitted for brevity 
   # ...
   
   replicas:
   - name: ess-pod-provision
     count: 2

   3. Continue with the rest of the [Applying Your Customizations](../../customize-configurations/) procedure.
