We are using Weaviate deployment using helm on EKS cluster. [weaviate-helm/weaviate/templates at master · weaviate/weaviate-helm · GitHub](https://github.com/weaviate/weaviate-helm/tree/master/weaviate/templates) We see poor performance using single POD Weaviate and looking for the option to have multiple PODs deployed to have stability in the application. I was unable to find details on how to upgrade the deployment to multi POD model? Do we have any document explaining the configuration required? ---

hi @abhisheknamdeo! Welcome to our community 🤗 The best path for your scenario will be deploying a second weaviate instance, with the desired replicas. Then you create your collections, and migrate your data over. We have this handy script to help you on that: > **[Migrate data | Weaviate - Vector Database](https://weaviate.io/developers/weaviate/manage-data/migrate)** > > Overview Let me know if this helps! ---

Thanks for your response. As I understand, I should be creating a new Weaviate instance in EKS with multiple replicas and later migrate the data from current Weaviate instance to the new one. Could you please point me to the location where we can define replicas? I was unable to find that in the HELM deployment configurations. ---

Thank you so much. This helps. I increased the replica count to 3. No we see three PODs, but with that we see three PV and three PVC. We assume the new volumes doesn’t contain the same data that we had in initial volume, is that correct? Do we have an inbuilt feature to sync data between these volumes or should be done manually?

that’s right. you now have 3 weaviates running in multi node. Now you can create your collections and specify to use a replication factor of 3, for example: > **[Replication | Weaviate - Vector Database](https://weaviate.io/developers/weaviate/configuration/replication)** > > Weaviate instances can be replicated to increase availability and read throughput, and to enable zero-downtime upgrades. On this page, you will learn how to set replication for your Weaviate instance.
