Hadrian Zbarcea created AMQ-5471: ------------------------------------ Summary: Configuration server for Network of Brokers Key: AMQ-5471 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMQ-5471 Project: ActiveMQ Issue Type: New Feature Components: Broker Reporter: Hadrian Zbarcea Assignee: Hadrian Zbarcea Fix For: 5.11.0
Brokers use the xbean configuration to start which is usually found in ./conf other other places on the local disk. In a NOB topology however it is hard to distribute the configuration files and maintain them across brokers especially with a growing or elasticly changing number of brokers. ActiveMQ already supports reading the xbean configuration from an http;// URL, so it would be very helpful to have a rest service that manages the configuration for all the brokers. I started such a service on [github|https://github.com/hzbarcea/activemq-nob] but plan to contribute it to ASF once it's in a decent shape, in a couple of weeks or so. The service uses the local file system and appropriate conventions to store all the relevant broker configuration resources (e.g. could be generated with ./bin/activemq create <instance> minus certificates probably). I plan to enhance it later to support a git repository for the configuration, so that it's versioned, so that an operator could roll out a new NOB topology, or roll back to the previous configuration. Feedback appreciated. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
