### Determining whether DNS horizontal autoscaling is already enabled
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
List the Deployments in your cluster in the kube-system namespace:
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
    kubectl get deployment --namespace=kube-system
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
The output is similar to this:
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
    NAME                  DESIRED   CURRENT   UP-TO-DATE   AVAILABLE   AGE
 | 
			
		||||
    ...
 | 
			
		||||
    kube-dns-autoscaler   1         1         1            1           ...
 | 
			
		||||
    ...
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
If you see "kube-dns-autoscaler" in the output, DNS horizontal autoscaling is
 | 
			
		||||
already enabled, and you can skip to
 | 
			
		||||
[Tuning autoscaling parameters](#tuning-autoscaling-parameters).
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
### Getting the name of your DNS Deployment or ReplicationController
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
List the Deployments in your cluster in the kube-system namespace:
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
    kubectl get deployment --namespace=kube-system
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
The output is similar to this:
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
    NAME         DESIRED   CURRENT   UP-TO-DATE   AVAILABLE   AGE
 | 
			
		||||
    ...
 | 
			
		||||
    kube-dns     1         1         1            1           ...
 | 
			
		||||
    ...
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
In Kubernetes versions earlier than 1.5 DNS is implemented using a
 | 
			
		||||
ReplicationController instead of a Deployment. So if you don't see kube-dns,
 | 
			
		||||
or a similar name, in the preceding output, list the ReplicationControllers in
 | 
			
		||||
your cluster in the kube-system namespace:
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
    kubectl get rc --namespace=kube-system
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
The output is similar to this:
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
    NAME            DESIRED   CURRENT   READY     AGE
 | 
			
		||||
    ...
 | 
			
		||||
    kube-dns-v20    1         1         1         ...
 | 
			
		||||
    ...
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
### Determining your scale target
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
If you have a DNS Deployment, your scale target is:
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
    Deployment/<your-deployment-name>
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
where <dns-deployment-name> is the name of your DNS Deployment. For example, if
 | 
			
		||||
your DNS Deployment name is kube-dns, your scale target is Deployment/kube-dns.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
If you have a DNS ReplicationController, your scale target is:
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
    ReplicationController/<your-rc-name>
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
where <your-rc-name> is the name of your DNS ReplicationController. For example,
 | 
			
		||||
if your DNS ReplicationController name is kube-dns-v20, your scale target is
 | 
			
		||||
ReplicationController/kube-dns-v20.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
### Enabling DNS horizontal autoscaling
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
In this section, you create a Deployment. The Pods in the Deployment run a
 | 
			
		||||
container based on the `cluster-proportional-autoscaler-amd64` image.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Create a file named `dns-horizontal-autoscaler.yaml` with this content:
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
{% include code.html language="yaml" file="dns-horizontal-autoscaler.yaml" ghlink="/docs/tasks/administer-cluster/dns-horizontal-autoscaler.yaml" %}
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
In the file, replace `<SCALE_TARGET>` with your scale target.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Go to the directory that contains your configuration file, and enter this
 | 
			
		||||
command to create the Deployment:
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
    kubectl create -f dns-horizontal-autoscaler.yaml
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
The output of a successful command is:
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
    deployment "kube-dns-autoscaler" created
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
DNS horizontal autoscaling is now enabled.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
### Tuning autoscaling parameters
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Verify that the kube-dns-autoscaler ConfigMap exists:
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
    kubectl get configmap --namespace=kube-system
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
The output is similar to this:
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
    NAME                  DATA      AGE
 | 
			
		||||
    ...
 | 
			
		||||
    kube-dns-autoscaler   1         ...
 | 
			
		||||
    ...
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Modify the data in the ConfigMap:
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
    kubectl edit configmap kube-dns-autoscaler --namespace=kube-system
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Look for this line:
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
    linear: '{"coresPerReplica":256,"min":1,"nodesPerReplica":16}'
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Modify the fields according to your needs. The "min" field indicates the
 | 
			
		||||
minimal number of DNS backends. The actual number of backends number is
 | 
			
		||||
calculated using this equation:
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
    replicas = max( ceil( cores * 1/coresPerReplica ) , ceil( nodes * 1/nodesPerReplica ) )
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Note that the values of both `coresPerReplica` and `nodesPerReplica` are
 | 
			
		||||
integers.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
The idea is that when a cluster is using nodes that have many cores,
 | 
			
		||||
`coresPerReplica` dominates. When a cluster is using nodes that have fewer
 | 
			
		||||
cores, `nodesPerReplica` dominates.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
There are other supported scaling patterns. For details, see
 | 
			
		||||
[cluster-proportional-autoscaler](https://github.com/kubernetes-incubator/cluster-proportional-autoscaler).
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
### Disable DNS horizontal autoscaling
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
There are a few options for turning DNS horizontal autoscaling. Which option to
 | 
			
		||||
use depends on different conditions.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
#### Option 1: Scale down the kube-dns-autoscaler deployment to 0 replicas
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
This option works for all situations. Enter this command:
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
    kubectl scale deployment --replicas=0 kube-dns-autoscaler --namespace=kube-system
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
The output is:
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
    deployment "kube-dns-autoscaler" scaled
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Verify that the replica count is zero:
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
    kubectl get deployment --namespace-kube-system
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
The output displays 0 in the DESIRED and CURRENT columns:
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
    NAME                  DESIRED   CURRENT   UP-TO-DATE   AVAILABLE   AGE
 | 
			
		||||
    ...
 | 
			
		||||
    kube-dns-autoscaler   0         0         0            0           ...
 | 
			
		||||
    ...
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
#### Option 2: Delete the kube-dns-autoscaler deployment
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
This option works if kube-dns-autoscaler is under your own control, which means
 | 
			
		||||
no one will re-create it:
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
    kubectl delete deployment kube-dns-autoscaler --namespace=kube-system
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
The output is:
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
    deployment "kube-dns-autoscaler" deleted
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
#### Option 3: Delete the kube-dns-autoscaler manifest file from the master node
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
This option works if kube-dns-autoscaler is under control of the
 | 
			
		||||
[Addon Manager](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/blob/master/cluster/addons/README.md)'s
 | 
			
		||||
control, and you have write access to the master node.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Sign in to the master node and delete the corresponding manifest file.
 | 
			
		||||
The common path for this kube-dns-autoscaler is:
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
    /etc/kubernetes/addons/dns-horizontal-autoscaler/dns-horizontal-autoscaler.yaml
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
After the manifest file is deleted, the Addon Manager will delete the
 | 
			
		||||
kube-dns-autoscaler Deployment.

### Understanding how DNS horizontal autoscaling works
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
* The cluster-proportional-autoscaler application is deployed separately from
 | 
			
		||||
the DNS service.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
* An autoscaler Pod runs a client that polls the Kubernetes API server for the
 | 
			
		||||
number of nodes and cores in the cluster.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
* A desired replica count is calculated and applied to the DNS backends based on
 | 
			
		||||
the current schedulable nodes and cores and the given scaling parameters.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
* The scaling parameters and data points are provided via a ConfigMap to the
 | 
			
		||||
autoscaler, and it refreshes its parameters table every poll interval to be up
 | 
			
		||||
to date with the latest desired scaling parameters.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
* Changes to the scaling parameters are allowed without rebuilding or restarting
 | 
			
		||||
the autoscaler Pod.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
* The autoscaler provides a controller interface to support two control
 | 
			
		||||
patterns: *linear* and *ladder*.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
### Future enhancements
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Control patterns, in addition to linear and ladder, that consider custom metrics
 | 
			
		||||
are under consideration as a future development.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Scaling of DNS backends based on DNS-specific metrics is under consideration as
 | 
			
		||||
a future development. The current implementation, which uses the number of nodes
 | 
			
		||||
and cores in cluster, is limited.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Support for custom metrics, similar to that provided by
 | 
			
		||||
[Horizontal Pod Autoscaling](http://kubernetes.io/docs/user-guide/horizontal-pod-autoscaling/),
 | 
			
		||||
is under consideration as a future development.
