Scale Paladin Cloud Infrastructure

Paladin Cloud can monitor thousands of AWS, Azure, and GCP accounts. As you add more accounts, the infrastructure may need to be scaled up to support the increased data volume. Consider the following options if you have issues with the performance:

Upgrade RDS Instance

Paladin Cloud’s default instance type for RDS-MySQL is db.t2.medium. Consider a larger instance to improve performance. To upgrade RDS follow the below steps:

1. Go to the local.py file

2. Set RDS_INSTANCE_TYPE to a type you require.

   Example: RDS_INSTANCE_TYPE = db.t2.large

3. Run the command, sudo python3 manager.py upgrade to upgrade the server instance type.

Upgrade Elasticsearch Instance

Paladin Cloud’s default instance type for the Elasticsearch cluster is m4.large.elasticsearch. Consider a larger instance to improve performance. To upgrade Elasticsearch, follow the steps below:

1. Go to the local.py file

2. Set ES_INSTANCE_TYPE to an instance type you require.

   Example: ES_INSTANCE_TYPE = m4.xlarge.elasticsearch

3. Run the command, sudo python3 manager.py upgrade to upgrade the server instance type.
