We are containerizing hippo 12x version and running it on Openshift Platform. Currently its running well on single pod. But if we try to scale up the POD, it fails with .lock issue and doesn’t allow us to run 2 pods simultaneously. So need you help in understanding if hippo 12x version will support multi pods or do we need to upgrade to higher versions of hippo to support this? Your assistance here will be of real great help. Please let us know.

Have you reviewed [System Architecture - Bloomreach Experience Manager (PaaS/Self-Hosted) - The Fast and Flexible Headless CMS](https://xmdocumentation.bloomreach.com/library/deployment/system-architecture.html) ?

BTW: I think this article was written with v12 in mind/when v12 was still supported:

Hello @Ashwini you can also look at [On-Premise Kubernetes Setup - Bloomreach Experience Manager (PaaS/Self-Hosted) - The Fast and Flexible Headless CMS](https://xmdocumentation.bloomreach.com/library/deployment/on-premise-kubernetes-setup.html) but I am not sure if this applies to 12.x
12.x has reached end of support so you should be looking into upgrading [End-of-Life, Updates, and Supported Product Versions - Bloomreach Experience Manager (PaaS/Self-Hosted) - The Fast and Flexible Headless CMS](https://xmdocumentation.bloomreach.com/about/eol-policy.html)
