kubectl scale --help

kubectl scale --help
Set a new size for a deployment, replica set, replication controller, or stateful set.

 Scale also allows users to specify one or more preconditions for the scale action.

 If --current-replicas or --resource-version is specified, it is validated before the scale is attempted, and it is
guaranteed that the precondition holds true when the scale is sent to the server.

Examples:
  # Scale a replica set named 'foo' to 3
  kubectl scale --replicas=3 rs/foo

  # Scale a resource identified by type and name specified in "foo.yaml" to 3
  kubectl scale --replicas=3 -f foo.yaml

  # If the deployment named mysql's current size is 2, scale mysql to 3
  kubectl scale --current-replicas=2 --replicas=3 deployment/mysql

  # Scale multiple replication controllers
  kubectl scale --replicas=5 rc/foo rc/bar rc/baz

  # Scale stateful set named 'web' to 3
  kubectl scale --replicas=3 statefulset/web

Options:
      --all=false: Select all resources in the namespace of the specified resource types
      --allow-missing-template-keys=true: If true, ignore any errors in templates when a field or map key is missing in
the template. Only applies to golang and jsonpath output formats.
      --current-replicas=-1: Precondition for current size. Requires that the current size of the resource match this
value in order to scale. -1 (default) for no condition.
      --dry-run='none': Must be "none", "server", or "client". If client strategy, only print the object that would be
sent, without sending it. If server strategy, submit server-side request without persisting the resource.
  -f, --filename=[]: Filename, directory, or URL to files identifying the resource to set a new size
  -k, --kustomize='': Process the kustomization directory. This flag can't be used together with -f or -R.
  -o, --output='': Output format. One of:
json|yaml|name|go-template|go-template-file|template|templatefile|jsonpath|jsonpath-as-json|jsonpath-file.
  -R, --recursive=false: Process the directory used in -f, --filename recursively. Useful when you want to manage
related manifests organized within the same directory.
      --replicas=0: The new desired number of replicas. Required.
      --resource-version='': Precondition for resource version. Requires that the current resource version match this
value in order to scale.
  -l, --selector='': Selector (label query) to filter on, supports '=', '==', and '!='.(e.g. -l key1=value1,key2=value2)
      --show-managed-fields=false: If true, keep the managedFields when printing objects in JSON or YAML format.
      --template='': Template string or path to template file to use when -o=go-template, -o=go-template-file. The
template format is golang templates [http://golang.org/pkg/text/template/#pkg-overview].
      --timeout=0s: The length of time to wait before giving up on a scale operation, zero means don't wait. Any other
values should contain a corresponding time unit (e.g. 1s, 2m, 3h).

Usage:
  kubectl scale [--resource-version=version] [--current-replicas=count] --replicas=COUNT (-f FILENAME | TYPE NAME)
[options]

Use "kubectl options" for a list of global command-line options (applies to all commands).
