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.
