How to scale up/down a deployment in openshift?

• Log into os-master01 (prod or stg depending on what you want)

• Retrieve the list of projects if you don't know how it's named

oc projects

Find there the one of interest

• Get its deployments

oc -n <project name> get dc

This will return you the different deployments in the project. Find the name of interest

• Scale the deployment up/down

oc -n <project name>  scale dc/<deployment name> --replicas=<number of pods desired>

If you do not want any running pods, simply use --replicas=0
