Hi all, I'm working on $subject. When we predict the instance count from statistics and dependency based ratio in application, we will get numbers with fraction. E.g. 1.2, 3.9, 4.5. Therefore we have to round the instance count for creating instances in IaaS.
I have thought of three types to choose from. 1. Floor 2. Ceiling 3. Custom percentage #3 means, user can give a limit of fraction to decide whether to round to floor or ceiling. e.g. User fives fraction as 0.2, Instance count 3.1 Rounded value 3 Instance count 3.21: Rounded value 4 Instance count 1.19: Rounded value 1 Feel free to give feedback. Thanks. -- -- Lahiru Sandaruwan Committer and PMC member, Apache Stratos, Senior Software Engineer, WSO2 Inc., http://wso2.com lean.enterprise.middleware email: lahi...@wso2.com blog: http://lahiruwrites.blogspot.com/ linked-in: http://lk.linkedin.com/pub/lahiru-sandaruwan/16/153/146
