Description

Feature and motivation

Currently when running Selenium Grid in Kubernetes via the Helm-chart, the hub becomes unreachable when deploying changes. This is due to there only being one replica.

Given multiple replicas, a rollout will keep the hub reachable during a deploy.

Usage example

Having multiple replicas will make the Grid more robust.

Research direction

Start by locating the Helm chart's Hub deployment and its replica configuration. Check how Kubernetes service routing behaves during a rollout with multiple Hub pods, then verify that the chart supports multiple replicas while keeping the Grid reachable during changes.
