In this video we will look at different ways to scale the worker nodes of an IPI based cluster up and down. We will see how easy it is to scale up and scale down a cluster manually. We will understand the architecture concepts behind the scaling. Next we will look at the concepts of auto scaling and create the necessary openshift components, generate workload and autoscale the cluster. We will see how the cluster sizes itself up and down based on the workload.
This is part of an ongoing overview video series on OpenShift 4.x.
