  (Asked by: username_0 on 2017-10-01)
  
  I'm using [helm](https://helm.sh/) to deploy my services to a Kubernetes cluster.  
  I want to improve the service availability of my tiller pod. So I scaled the tiller deployment to 2 replicas.  
  Helm is working as before with no issues that might be related to this.
  
  Does anyone have an idea why this might NOT be a good idea to increase reliability of helm and tiller?
  
  **EDIT:**
  
  * Helm v3 is expected to drop the usage of tiller. Making this issue not relevant
  * If you want a tillerless experience in helm v2, you can use a [helm-tiller plugin](https://github.com/rimusz/helm-tiller)

  Running two tillers does not make it HA. There is [an open issue](https://github.com/kubernetes/helm/issues/2334) at the moment.
