ApiCount
How many Rack API containers to run. Setting this higher than 2 will guarantee better Rack API availability for mission critical clusters.
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| Default value | 2 |
Use Cases
- Increasing to 3 or more for production Racks where API downtime is unacceptable
- Reducing to 1 for development or staging Racks to save resources
- Scaling up temporarily during large deployment operations
Additional Information
Each API container consumes the CPU and memory defined by ApiCpu and ApiWebMemory. Ensure your instances have enough capacity to run the desired number of API containers alongside your application workloads.
