Guangrong, To be more precise, the current approach is that there are two levels of “instances”. The first is, using Kubernetes terms, “service” level. The second is “pod” level, where a pod is a container or group of closely coupled containers.
Using VES collector as example, the R1 VES container becomes a pod. Then another layer of abstraction is added for addressing platform maturity requirements, to wrap individual pod into service (load balancer type). External world interacts with VES at the service level. Scaling and resilience within a VES service (individual VES pod gets restarted, scaled to more replica instances, etc) are handled by Kubernetes, transparent to outside world, and no DCAE control involvement. If additional VES “service” needs to be deployed, that will involve DCAE control. Instances of service can be identified individually. With this said, there is no current plan to explicitly notify individual service instances about other instances of the same service. Each service instance can probably look into Consul or Kubernetes mechanisms to see if there are other service instances of the same type as itself. Is this something you need for R2 Holmes?

Say, there's already an instance of Holmes (e.g. Holmes A) and then a new instance (Holmes B) of Holmes is instantiated. Will DCAE tell Holmes A that there's another instance of Holmes named "Holmes B" spun up just now?

I'll look through the links that Roger pointed. Since Holmes does not have to do anything on metric collecting, I think the top priority for our team is to handle the state of our containers properly after auto scaling. Lusheng, As you know, we have a virtual F2F event this week. So I'm not sure whether we have a chance to discuss this. Please do let me know when you are ready to share. Thank you very much.

Guangrong, The details of the Kubernetes plan for DCAE is still work-in-progress. Here are some of highlights for service components. 1. Will support Kubernetes based scaling and resilience mechanism for dockerized service components. * This implies that the container/containers of a service component will be packaged as pod. The resilience is expected to be provided by Kubernetes cluster. * The Kubernetes based scaling support may need additional support from service component developer. For example, if a service component is stateless, for which each instance behaves exactly the same as the next, are “scaling-ready”. Load can be distributed to any instance and the result would be the same. However, if the service component keeps states, multiple replicas of this service component may have different local states if not handled carefully. The actual mechanism to ensure state synchronization is application dependent. But one typical approach is to push “states” to an external service such as a DB, or persistent volume, or a distributed kv store, etc, and states are loaded into individual replica when needed (e.g. startup) so different replicas get the state view from the same copy. * In terms of multiple replicas subscribing to the same message router topic, there is a way to distribute the load. That is, each replica uses the same “groupid” but different “userid”. Message router will consider a message received by a group when it is received by any user of the group. This way we can avoid the same message being delivered to multiple replicas. 1. Our goal is to maintain the interfaces that how a service component interacts with the rest of DCAE the same, e.g. how your component gets deployed and how your component receives configuration updates, etc. 2. How the scaling trigger arrives and the actual scaling (i.e. more replicas) is handled by external mechanisms. Service components themselves do not need to worry about that. We hope to have more details to share the next week, and set up focus meeting discussing more.

The cluster can be static (which is believe is what most projects intend for Beijing) or dynamic (the OOM team would love to work with you on this).

We need to confirm something with you. To my understanding, the microservice should only focus on how to maintain and balance its data flow rather than how the docker containers/vms are scaled by their controller. As a DCAE application, I think it's DCAE controller's responsiblity to determine when and how to scale in or scale out Holmes instances. Is that correct? If what my understanding is correct, does DCAE have any specific requirements regarding collecting the status and metrics of its microservices?
