Chapter 8. Allocating additional resources to OpenShift Data Science users

As a cluster administrator, you can allocate additional resources to a cluster to support compute-intensive data science work. This includes increasing the number of nodes in the cluster and changing the cluster’s allocated machine pool.

Prerequisites

  • You have credentials for administering clusters in OpenShift Cluster Manager (https://console.redhat.com/openshift/). For more information about configuring administrative access in OpenShift Cluster Manager, see Configuring access to clusters in OpenShift Cluster Manager.
  • If you are increasing the size of a machine pool using NVIDIA GPUs, your OpenShift Dedicated cluster supports them.
  • You have an AWS or GCP instance with the capacity to create larger container sizes.
  • For compute-intensive operations, you have an AWS or GCP instance with enough capacity to accommodate the largest container size, XL.

Procedure

  1. Log in to OpenShift Cluster Manager (https://console.redhat.com/openshift/).

  2. Click Clusters.

    The Clusters page opens.

  3. Click the name of the cluster you want to allocate additional resources to.
  4. Click Actions → Edit node count.
  5. Select a Machine pool from the list.
  6. Select the number of nodes assigned to the machine pool from the Node count list.
  7. Click Apply.

Verification

  • The additional resources that you allocated to the cluster are displayed on the Machine Pools tab.
