SYNOPSIS

15       kubectl scale [OPTIONS]
16
17
18

DESCRIPTION

20       Set a new size for a deployment, replica set,  replication  controller,
21       or stateful set.
22
23
24       Scale  also  allows  users to specify one or more preconditions for the
25       scale action.
26
27
28       If --current-replicas or --resource-version is specified, it  is  vali‐
29       dated before the scale is attempted, and it is guaranteed that the pre‐
30       condition holds true when the scale is sent to the server.
31
32
33

OPTIONS

35       --all=false      Select all resources in the namespace of the specified
36       resource types
37
38
39       --allow-missing-template-keys=true       If  true, ignore any errors in
40       templates when a field or map key is missing in the template. Only  ap‐
41       plies to golang and jsonpath output formats.
42
43
44       --current-replicas=-1      Precondition for current size. Requires that
45       the current size of the resource match this value in order to scale. -1
46       (default) for no condition.
47
48
49       --dry-run="none"       Must be "none", "server", or "client". If client
50       strategy, only print the object that would be sent, without sending it.
51       If  server  strategy, submit server-side request without persisting the
52       resource.
53
54
55       -f, --filename=[]      Filename, directory, or URL to files identifying
56       the resource to set a new size
57
58
59       -k,  --kustomize=""      Process the kustomization directory. This flag
60       can't be used together with -f or -R.
61
62
63       -o, --output=""      Output format. One of: (json, yaml, name,  go-tem‐
64       plate, go-template-file, template, templatefile, jsonpath, jsonpath-as-
65       json, jsonpath-file).
66
67
68       --record=false      Record current kubectl command in the resource  an‐
69       notation.  If  set to false, do not record the command. If set to true,
70       record the command. If not set, default to updating the existing  anno‐
71       tation value only if one already exists.
72
73
74       -R, --recursive=false      Process the directory used in -f, --filename
75       recursively. Useful when you want to manage related manifests organized
76       within the same directory.
77
78
79       --replicas=0      The new desired number of replicas. Required.
80
81
82       --resource-version=""       Precondition for resource version. Requires
83       that the current resource version match this value in order to scale.
84
85
86       -l, --selector=""      Selector (label query) to  filter  on,  supports
87       '=', '==', and '!='.(e.g. -l key1=value1,key2=value2). Matching objects
88       must satisfy all of the specified label constraints.
89
90
91       --show-managed-fields=false      If true, keep the  managedFields  when
92       printing objects in JSON or YAML format.
93
94
95       --template=""      Template string or path to template file to use when
96       -o=go-template, -o=go-template-file. The template format is golang tem‐

98
99
100       --timeout=0s       The  length  of  time  to wait before giving up on a
101       scale operation, zero means don't wait. Any other values should contain
102       a corresponding time unit (e.g. 1s, 2m, 3h).
