Effortless Scaling of Containers with HCS
HostSpace's HCS provides a user-friendly interface for managing your containerized applications and scaling them as needed. Here’s how to handle scaling configurations via the HCS interface:
1. Access the HCS Dashboard
Login to HCS: Open your browser and navigate to the HCS dashboard. Log in with your credentials.
Select Your Project: Choose the relevant project where you want to manage container scaling.
2. Horizontal Scaling via HCS
Navigate to Deployments: In the HCS dashboard, go to the "Deployments" section.
Select Deployment: Click on the deployment you wish to scale. This will open the deployment details page.
Adjust Replica Count:
Look for the option to adjust the number of replicas. This is usually under a section labeled "Scaling" or "Replicas."
Use the slider or input field to set the desired number of replicas. HCS will automatically update the deployment with the new replica count.
3. Vertical Scaling via HCS
Navigate to Deployments: Again, go to the "Deployments" section.
Select Deployment: Choose the deployment for which you want to adjust resource limits.
Edit Resource Limits:
Click on the deployment to edit its configuration.
Find the resource limits settings (usually under "Resources" or "Configuration").
Adjust the CPU and memory limits as needed. Save the changes, and HCS will update the deployment accordingly.
4. Best Practices
Monitor Regularly: Use HCS’s built-in monitoring tools to keep an eye on resource usage and scaling activities.
Adjust Policies as Needed: Based on monitoring data, tweak your scaling policies for optimal performance.
Test Changes: Before applying changes to production, test them in a staging environment.
By following these steps in the HCS interface, you can efficiently manage and scale your containerized applications.
