High availability for Knative services

High availability (HA) is available by default for the Knative Serving activator, autoscaler, autoscaler-hpa, controller, webhook, kourier-control, and kourier-gateway components, which are configured to have two replicas each by default. You can change the number of replicas for these components by modifying the spec.high-availability.replicas value in the KnativeServing custom resource (CR).

Configuring high availability replicas for Knative Serving

To specify three minimum replicas for the eligible deployment resources, set the value of the field spec.high-availability.replicas in the custom resource to 3.

Prerequisites

  • You have access to an OpenShift Container Platform account with cluster administrator access.

  • The OpenShift Serverless Operator and Knative Serving are installed on your cluster.

Procedure

  1. In the OpenShift Container Platform web console Administrator perspective, navigate to OperatorHub → Installed Operators.

  2. Select the knative-serving namespace.

  3. Click Knative Serving in the list of Provided APIs for the OpenShift Serverless Operator to go to the Knative Serving tab.

  4. Click knative-serving, then go to the YAML tab in the knative-serving page.
