Scaling up infrastructure

This section describes scaling up the infrastructure, for example from xsmall to small to medium, and so on.

Scaling up generally consists of:

  • Changing EKS node pool sizes

  • Changing EKS node pool VM types

  • Changing kubernetes assigned resources

  • Changing kubernetes pod counts

The process is as follows:

  1. Update your tfvars to the new size.

  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

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