Scaling

Kaspersky Container Security supports scaling for the number of scanning pods to ensure that the incoming image volume can be scanned. You can scale the number of scanning pods up or down at any time while the solution is operating.

When a scanning pod is added, the system resources increase as follows:

• The number of node processors—by 2.
• The amount of RAM on the nodes—by 4 GB.
• The amount of free disk space on a node hard drive—by 15 GB.

To scan images larger than 10 GB, the kcs-ih service resources must be increased as follows per scanning pod and for each additional GB.

• The amount of RAM on the nodes—by 300 MB.
• The amount of free disk space on a node hard drive—by 1 GB.

If the images are not scanned for configuration file errors during standard operation mode, it is not necessary to increase the RAM of the scanning pods.
