You can add new Query Engine and BI Server nodes to an existing Kyvos cluster.

For this, you must first provision a VM Instance in the Azure Portal before adding it to the Kyvos Cluster. Once this is done, you can add the node to the cluster through the Kyvos Manager and assign it the role for the service that will run on it, such as Query Engine or BI Server.

This document explains the steps to add Query Engine nodes, you can use the same steps to add BI Server nodes as well.
