Command add-unit
Usage: juju add-unit [options] <application name>
Summary:
Adds one or more units to a deployed application.
Options:
--attach-storage (= )
Existing storage to attach to the deployed unit (not available on kubernetes models)
-m, --model (= "")
Model to operate in. Accepts [<controller name>:]<model name>
-n, --num-units (= 1)
Number of units to add
--to (= "")
The machine and/or container to deploy the unit in (bypasses constraints)
Details:
The add-unit is used to scale out an application for improved performance or availability.
The usage of this command differs depending on whether it is being used on a Kubernetes or cloud model.
Many charms will seamlessly support horizontal scaling while others may need an additional application support (e.g. a separate load balancer). See the documentation for specific charms to check how scale-out is supported. For Kubernetes models the only valid argument is -n, --num-units.
Anything additional will result in an error.
Example:
Add five units of mysql:
juju add-unit mysql --num-units 5
For cloud models, by default, units are deployed to newly provisioned machines in accordance with any application or model constraints.
This command also supports the placement directive (--to) for targeting specific machines or containers, which will bypass application and model constraints.
Examples:
Add five units of mysql on five new machines:
juju add-unit mysql -n 5
Add a unit of mysql to machine 23 (which already exists):
juju add-unit mysql --to 23
Add two units of mysql to existing machines 3 and 4:
juju add-unit mysql -n 2 --to 3,4
Add three units of mysql, one to machine 3 and the others to new machines:
juju add-unit mysql -n 3 --to 3
Add a unit of mysql into a new LXD container on machine 7:
juju add-unit mysql --to lxd:7
Add two units of mysql into two new LXD containers on machine 7:
juju add-unit mysql -n 2 --to lxd:7,lxd:7
Add a unit of mysql to LXD container number 3 on machine 24:
juju add-unit mysql --to 24/lxd/3
Add a unit of mysql to LXD container on a new machine:
juju add-unit mysql --to lxd
