Chapter 2. Manually scaling a MachineSet


You can add or remove an instance of a machine in a MachineSet.

Note

If you need to modify aspects of a MachineSet outside of scaling, see Modifying a MachineSet.

2.1. Prerequisites

Important

This process is not applicable to clusters where you manually provisioned the machines yourself. You can use the advanced machine management and scaling capabilities only in clusters where the machine API is operational.

2.2. Scaling a MachineSet manually

If you must add or remove an instance of a machine in a MachineSet, you can manually scale the MachineSet.

Prerequisites

  • Install an OpenShift Container Platform cluster and the oc command line.
  • Log in to oc as a user with cluster-admin permission.

Procedure

  1. View the MachineSets that are in the cluster:

    $ oc get machinesets -n openshift-machine-api
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

    The MachineSets are listed in the form of <clusterid>-worker-<aws-region-az>.

  2. Scale the MachineSet:

    $ oc scale --replicas=2 machineset <machineset> -n openshift-machine-api
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

    Or:

    $ oc edit machineset <machineset> -n openshift-machine-api
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

    You can scale the MachineSet up or down. It takes several minutes for the new machines to be available.

2.3. The MachineSet delete policy

Random, Newest, and Oldest are the three supported options. The default is Random, meaning that random machines are chosen and deleted when scaling MachineSets down. The delete policy can be set according to the use case by modifying the particular MachineSet:

spec:
  deletePolicy: <delete policy>
  replicas: <desired replica count>
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

Specific machines can also be priortized for deletion by adding the annotation machine.openshift.io/cluster-api-delete-machine to the machine of interest, regardless of the delete policy.

Important

By default, the OpenShift Container Platform router pods are deployed on workers. Because the router is required to access some cluster resources, including the web console, do not scale the worker MachineSet to 0 unless you first relocate the router pods.

Note

Custom MachineSets can be used for use cases requiring that services run on specific nodes and that those services are ignored by the controller when the worker MachineSets are scaling down. This prevents service disruption.
