Why you see the error that the "default launch spec is used as a template only"

Title

You may see an error stating that you can't raise the target capacity of your Ocean cluster because the default launch specification is used only as a template. This happens when the useAsTemplateOnly parameter is set to true. When this parameter is enabled, you can’t manually edit the target capacity for the cluster.

This can be confusing if you expect to scale the cluster yourself. In many cases, you may not need to adjust the target at all because Flexera Ocean scales capacity automatically. But if you do need to make a manual change, you can update the parameter in the cluster configuration.

Solution

In the Flexera console, go to Ocean > Cloud clusters, and select your cluster.
Select Actions > Edit.
On the Review tab, select JSON > Edit mode.
In the configuration, open Compute > launchSpecification.
Set the useAsTemplateOnly parameter to false.
Save your changes.

After this update, you can manually increase the target capacity. New nodes launch in the default virtual node group.

Outcome

You can now adjust the target capacity for your Ocean cluster because the default launch specification is no longer restricted to template-only mode.
