Set a new size for a deployment.

kubectl

$ kubectl scale deployment/${deployment_name} --replicas=${count}

try on your machine

This command is used to scale a Kubernetes deployment by updating the number of replicas.

Here is the breakdown of each component in the command:

kubectl: It is the command-line tool used for interacting with Kubernetes clusters.
scale: It is the command within kubectl used for scaling resources.
deployment/${deployment_name}: It specifies the deployment object that you want to scale. ${deployment_name} should be replaced with the name of the deployment you want to scale.
--replicas=${count}: It is a flag used to specify the desired number of replicas for the deployment. ${count} should be replaced with the desired number of replicas.

By running this command, you can effectively change the number of replicas for the specified deployment, thereby scaling it up or down based on the provided count.
