Chapter 4. Auto-scaling placement groups


The number of placement groups (PGs) in a pool plays a significant role in how a cluster peers, distributes data, and rebalances.

Auto-scaling the number of PGs can make managing the cluster easier. The pg-autoscaling command provides recommendations for scaling PGs, or automatically scales PGs based on how the cluster is being used.
