Hi All,

I am using awx operator version 0.15.0 and my aws version is 19.5.0 , I am using aws eks as my infra. In my eks have 2 nodes, each node having 4 core and 16 GB size . After deploying awx I have seen that only one node is utilized by awx, it is not spanning on 2 nodes, Is there is any way to use two nodes , because I am getting slow performance because of this issue.

Thanks in advance for the help

You should be able to patch your deployment to run 2 replicas rather than 1 - either via the [operator](https://github.com/ansible/awx-operator/blob/e2fc5f46c00dc177b1c65d7e39dbf7358ab69258/roles/installer/defaults/main.yml#L162), or just using kubectl (unless I have misunderstood the question)

Alternatively you might get better performance by increasing the request limits of the containers documented [here](https://github.com/ansible/awx-operator#containers-resource-requirements)
