You can configure Alloy to run with clustering so that individual Alloys can work together for workload distribution and high availability.
This topic describes how to add clustering to an existing installation.

This section guides you through enabling clustering when Alloy is installed on Kubernetes using the Alloy Helm chart.

file hascontroller.type
set tostatefulset
.
Steps
To configure clustering:
Amend your existing
values.yaml
file to addclustering.enabled=true
inside thealloy

Upgrade your installation to use the new
values.yaml
file:helm upgrade <RELEASE_NAME> -f values.yaml
Replace the following:
<RELEASE_NAME>
