|
Is your cluster’s network properly sized to support the number of event broker services you would like to create? |
Yes |
The number of event broker services that can be created in a cluster is limited by the available IP addresses in the VPC/VNET. Consider the size of your cluster’s network carefully, as it is not possible to change its size after creation. |
|
|
Have you configured the cluster’s node pools to use autoscaling? |
Yes No |
Solace recommends using the cluster autoscaler to ensure that there is sufficient capacity in the cluster to create event broker services with a minimum waste of resources. |
