Load balancing

NOTE: To do this, you must first ensure that individual pod addressability is enabled.

Knative assigns a subset of Activators for each revision, depending on the revision size. More revision pods will mean a greater number of Activators for that revision.

• If concurrency is set to a value less or equal than 3, the Activator will send the request to the first pod that has capacity. Otherwise, requests will be balanced in a round robin fashion, with respect to container concurrency.

For more information, see the documentation on concurrency.

Configuring target burst capacity

Target burst capacity can be configured using a combination of the following parameters:

• Setting the targeted concurrency limits for the revision. See concurrency.
• Setting the target burst capacity. You can configure target burst capacity using the annotation key in the ConfigMap. See .
• Setting the Activator capacity by using the ConfigMap. See Setting the Activator capacity.
