Scale by Component

Scale pod settings

Use these settings to set the resource values of a pod:

Value	Description	Example
`cpu`	Amount of CPU to use for the pod/container	`cpu: 2` `cpu: 2.5`
`memory`	Amount of RAM to use for the pod/container	`memory: 500Gi`
`storage`	Amount of ephemeral storage to be used: note this type of storage isn't stateful	`storage: 10Gi`
`data_storage`	To scale the PVC for pods that support it, use the `data_storage` key	`data_storage: 1TB`

When specified, both request and limit are set for the specified resource (memory, CPU, storage, data_storage). Use overcommit or limit_cpu tunables for more flexibility. See Overcommit for more information.

Configure single pods

Modify single pod settings in the hydrolixcluster.yaml file.

For example, this setting modifies the intake-head pods to have two CPUs and 10GiB of RAM allocated:

scale:
  intake-head:
    cpu: 2
    memory: 10Gi

Configure multi-container pods

Some Hydrolix services run as pods with multiple containers. For example, the stream peer service contains both the intake-head and turbine containers. The turbine container is the indexer component that executes transforms and indexes content.

Settings applied to the default intake-head service don't apply to the turbine container.

Use the <component>-indexer name to specify the turbine component in your hydrolixcluster.yaml file. For example, for intake, use intake-indexer.

See Scale Profiles for a list of pods.
