How to Enable and Automate Autoscaling for Red Hat Single Sign-On (RHSSO) Using HPA and Keycloak Operator CR"?

Issue

• How to Enable and Automate Autoscaling for Red Hat Single Sign-On (RHSSO) Using HPA and Keycloak Operator CR"

• After reinstalling Red Hat Single Sign-On (RHSSO) using oc apply -f keycloak.yaml, autoscaling must be manually enabled each time through the OpenShift Cluster Manager (OCM) GUI.

• The customer wants to automate this process using code (GitOps/CI-CD automation) and avoid manual GUI steps.

• The engineer confirmed that the "Enable Autoscale" button in OCM simply creates a HorizontalPodAutoscaler (HPA) resource in OpenShift.

• When attempting to automate HPA creation using YAML (keycloak-hpa.yaml), the customer encountered conflicts between:

• The instances: field defined in the Keycloak Custom Resource (CR), and

• The minReplicas value defined in the HPA.

• This conflict caused continuous pod creation and termination (HPA scaling vs. Operator overriding replicas).
