Scale to Minimal

Scale to minimal

This feature was added in version 5.3.

Use scale to minimal to autoscale most components to zero while leaving the cluster available for API calls and the UI. This feature provides extra cost savings by reducing resources used for idle workloads, while still allowing API interactions and scaling up when needed. This setting is off by default.

Enable scale to minimal

To enable scale to minimal, edit the Hydrolix configuration spec and add scale_min: true to the spec: section.

  • traefik
  • ui
  • turbine-api

All other pods scale to zero.
