NAME

kubectl scale - Set a new size for a Replication Controller.

SYNOPSIS

kubectl scale [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION

Set a new size for a Replication Controller.

Scale also allows users to specify one or more preconditions for the scale action. If --current-replicas or --resource-version is specified, it is validated before the scale is attempted, and it is guaranteed that the precondition holds true when the scale is sent to the server.

OPTIONS

--current-replicas=-1
    Precondition for current size. Requires that the current size of the replication controller match this value in order to scale.

-h, --help=false
    help for scale

--replicas=-1
    The new desired number of replicas. Required.

--resource-version=""
    Precondition for resource version. Requires that the current resource version match this value in order to scale.
