[Dev] Autoscaling with LXCs - end to end demo

[Afkham Azeez]

Today we were able to see an end to end demo where the autoscaler talked to
the Tropos controller, and the controller spawned LXC instances! Tropos is
the name we've been using for this 'thing' we are doing with
LXC+autoscaler+LB+agents :) If there is a better name, please come up with
suggestions :)

Some stuff were done manually to get the end to end flow working, but the
team got it working. Good job folks!

Damitha et. al., please schedule another demo for all interested parties
next week. It would be ideal if the manual steps are fixed to be done
automatically with scripts etc.

Thanks
Azeez

How does Tropos compare/contrast with VMWare's Cloud Foundry project?

Re: [Dev] Autoscaling with LXCs - end to end demo

[Damitha Kumarage]

Hi Chris,

The main components like controller, Load Balancer, Host Machine of Tropos
are similar in function to Clound Foundry corresponding components (Cloud
Controller, Routers, Droplet Execution Agent(DEA)). In addition CF has two
main components called Services and Health Monitor.

The applications are run in Droplet Execution Engines(DEE) which is
monitored by DEA. These DEE's could be Linux Containers.

CF provide a service gateway that is controlled by Controller to provide
service access to applications running in DEE's. These services could be
databases, Message systems or any other service useful to the applications.

Tropos is more to the Iaas layer while Could Foundry deals mainly with Paas
layer. Howerver CF is designed to deployed with existing Cloud Iaas layers.

A nice slide presentation by the CF main architect is here [1]

Following are some of the features that Cloud Foundry provide

- Controller is policy free. It provide plug-in points for policy engines.
Currently Tropos Controller include policies on selecting Adaptor,
   autoscaling etc in built.

- CF services gateway provides plug-in points for new services.

- CF aPaas can be deployed in different Iaas. In fact Rightscale [2] runs
CF on it's Iaas layer.

- CF can be deployed as a public aPaas or a private aPaas or a mix of both.

- in CF new Applications can be bundled and make ready for new DEE
deployments through controller. This is in our Roadmap.

Thanks,
Damitha
