High availability for Knative deployments

High availability (HA) is available by default for the Knative Serving activator, autoscaler, autoscaler-hpa, controller, webhook, domain-mapping, domainmapping-webhook, kourier-control, and kourier-gateway components, which are configured to have two replicas each. 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 cluster administrator permissions on OpenShift Container Platform, or you have cluster or dedicated administrator permissions on Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS or OpenShift Dedicated.

  • 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.
