Scalability of integration components in a non knative environment

[arijitmazumdar]

Hi
We are testing camel-k capabilities on a minikube environment, we haven't installed knative.
We have observed when we create an integration, by default the replica is 1.
Curious to know can we create an integration component with multiple pods in the beginning ?
Also as we are in a non knative environment, how can we scale the number of pods. I have tried to change the number of replica in the deployment to 2 from 1, however it's not creating 2 pods.

Hi, one option is to set the .spec.replicas field of the Integration resource.

Also the kubectl scale sub-command can be used to scale the Integration, e.g.:

$ kubectl scale it my-integration --replicas N

Hi
How to pass .spec.replicas in the kamel run command?
The other option did work by using kubectl scale integration... Thanks for that.

There is currently no option to the kamel run subcommand to set the replicas count. That would make a good enhancement. Feel free to create an issue for that.

It is possible to edit the Integration resource with kubectl edit or kubectl patch, e.g.:

$ kubectl patch it my-integration -p '{"spec":{"replicas":2}}'
