Scale & Restart

Scale a Component

helm-me ops scale backend 5

Scale down:

helm-me ops scale backend 1

Pause (Scale to Zero)

Pause all deployments in an app (scale replicas to 0):

helm-me ops pause

Useful for saving cluster resources during off-hours.

Rolling Restart

Trigger a rolling restart without changing the spec:

helm-me ops restart

Restart a specific component:

helm-me ops restart --component backend

Tip

Use restart after updating ConfigMaps or Secrets that your app reads at startup.
