kubectl scale
kubectl scale
Set a new size for a Deployment, ReplicaSet, Replication Controller, or Job
Synopsis
Set a new size for a Deployment, ReplicaSet, Replication Controller, or Job.
Scale also allows users to specify one or more preconditions for the scale action.
If –current-replicas or –resource-version is specified, it is validated before the scale is attempted, and it is guaranteed that the precondition holds true when the scale is sent to the server.
kubectl scale [--resource-version=version] [--current-replicas=count] --replicas=COUNT (-f FILENAME | TYPE NAME)
Examples
# Scale a replicaset named 'foo' to 3.
kubectl scale --replicas=3 rs/foo
# Scale a resource identified by type and name specified in "foo.yaml" to 3.
kubectl scale --replicas=3 -f foo.yaml
# If the deployment named mysql's current size is 2, scale mysql to 3.
kubectl scale --current-replicas=2 --replicas=3 deployment/mysql
# Scale multiple replication controllers.
kubectl scale --replicas=5 rc/foo rc/bar rc/baz
# Scale job named 'cron' to 3.
kubectl scale --replicas=3 job/cron
Options
--current-replicas int Precondition for current size. Requires that the current size of the resource match this value in order to scale. (default -1)
-f, --filename stringSlice Filename, directory, or URL to files identifying the resource to set a new size
-o, --output string Output mode. Use "-o name" for shorter output (resource/name).
--record Record current kubectl command in the resource annotation. If set to false, do not record the command. If set to true, record the command. If not set, default to updating the existing annotation value only if one already exists.
-R, --recursive Process the directory used in -f, --filename recursively. Useful when you want to manage related manifests organized within the same directory.
--replicas int The new desired number of replicas. Required. (default -1)
--resource-version string Precondition for resource version. Requires that the current resource version match this value in order to scale.
--timeout duration The length of time to wait before giving up on a scale operation, zero means don't wait. Any other values should contain a corresponding time unit (e.g. 1s, 2m, 3h).
Options inherited from parent commands
--alsologtostderr log to standard error as well as files
--as string Username to impersonate for the operation
--certificate-authority string Path to a cert. file for the certificate authority
--client-certificate string Path to a client certificate file for TLS
--client-key string Path to a client key file for TLS
--cluster string The name of the kubeconfig cluster to use
--context string The name of the kubeconfig context to use
--insecure-skip-tls-verify If true, the server's certificate will not be checked for validity. This will make your HTTPS connections insecure
--kubeconfig string Path to the kubeconfig file to use for CLI requests.
--log-backtrace-at traceLocation when logging hits line file:N, emit a stack trace (default :0)
--log-dir string If non-empty, write log files in this directory
--logtostderr log to standard error instead of files
--match-server-version Require server version to match client version
-n, --namespace string If present, the namespace scope for this CLI request
--password string Password for basic authentication to the API server
--request-timeout string The length of time to wait before giving up on a single server request. Non-zero values should contain a corresponding time unit (e.g. 1s, 2m, 3h). A value of zero means don't timeout requests. (default "0")
-s, --server string The address and port of the Kubernetes API server
--stderrthreshold severity logs at or above this threshold go to stderr (default 2)
--token string Bearer token for authentication to the API server
--user string The name of the kubeconfig user to use
--username string Username for basic authentication to the API server
-v, --v Level log level for V logs
--vmodule moduleSpec comma-separated list of pattern=N settings for file-filtered logging
