Scaling Infrastructure Out

This section describes scaling out the infrastructure, for example basic to ingress to advanced.

Scaling out generally consists of:

  • Adding additional subnets

  • Adding new kubernetes node pools

  • Redefining the LogScale cluster

The process is as follows:

  1. Update your tfvars to the new architecture type.

  2. Apply infrastructure changes:

    shell
    terraform apply -target module.eks -var-file $TFVAR_FILE

  3. Apply the kubernetes changes:

    shell
    terraform apply -target module.logscale -var-file $TFVAR_FILE

When the process is complete, clean out any terminated pods from the LogScale Cluster Node Management UI.

Important

Moving from larger architectures to smaller, for example from advanced to basic, is not recommended.
