6.2. Scaling an Ingress Controller

Procedure

1. View the current number of available replicas for the default IngressController:

2. Scale the default IngressController to the desired number of replicas using the oc patch command. The following example scales the default IngressController to 3 replicas:

   $ oc patch -n openshift-ingress-operator ingresscontroller/default --patch '{"spec":{"replicas": 3}}' --type=merge

3. Verify that the default IngressController scaled to the number of replicas that you specified:

   $ oc get -n openshift-ingress-operator ingresscontrollers/default -o jsonpath='{$.status.availableReplicas}'

   Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

   Example output
