Hey all,

I’m new to the operator sdk.

Could anyone advise on what resilience scaling options are available?

I’d like to ensure that the AWX web interface is always available in the event of planned/unplanned outages. I’d be happy to use something like pdb but not sure how that works with the operator.

Then is there anyway to autoscale the AWX pod? Could HPA work?

I’m running on AKS, and deploying using HELM.

Thanks,  
Nathan

PDB – possibly, but we haven’t tested it  
HPA - not possible right now, as the operator will ultimate be in control of the cluster scaling

We are actively improving the resilience features of AWX, stay tuned for upcoming announcement and demos on the AWX channel [https://www.youtube.com/@ansible-awx](https://www.youtube.com/@ansible-awx)
