Pivotal Cloud Foundry Developer Certification - Application Autoscaler

What is the autoscaler?
App Autoscaler is a marketplace service that helps control the cost of running apps while maintaining app performance.
To balance app performance and cost, use App Autoscaler to do the following:
  • Configure rules that adjust instance counts based on metrics thresholds such as CPU Usage
  • Modify the maximum and minimum number of instances for an app, either manually or following a schedule
How would you use it?
To use App Autoscaler, you must create an instance of the App Autoscaler service and bind it to any app you want to autoscale. You can do this using either the Apps Manager or from the Cloud Foundry Command Line Interface (cf CLI):
  • Apps Manager:
    • Create an instance of the service.
    • Bind the service to an app.
  • cf CLI:
    • Create an instance of the service.
    • Bind the service to an app.

What can you configure?
1. Instance Limits
2. Scaling Rules

3. Scheduled Limit Changes

 Do you understand autoscaler schedules?
Because app demand often follows a weekly, daily, or hourly schedule, you can schedule Autoscaler to change the allowable instance range to track expected surges or quiet periods.

Pivotal Cloud Foundry Developer Certification - Managed and User-Provided Services

1. What is a service? Can you name some examples? Services are cloud native apps dependencies. Consider S ervice as a factory that delivers service instances. Two types: 1. Managed services Cloud Foundry offers a marketplace of services, from which users can provision reserved resources on-demand. Examples of resources services provide include databases on a shared or dedicated server, or accounts on a SaaS application.  Example: my-sql, rabbitmq, redis etc... 2. User provided services User provided services provides the metadata to connect to the system outside the cloud. These services are not available in market place. This are custom services i.e. connecting to your own external DB or any other service outside the cloud i.e. erp etc.. Command to list the service instances in your space: cf services To see details of particular service cf service SERVICE_INSTANCE_NAME What is the “marketplace”?

Pivotal Cloud Foundry Developer Certification - Cloud Foundry Architecture

Can you name the main components running inside Cloud Foundry? Do you know what  each of them does? Main components are: Router :  routes incoming traffic to cloud controller or the hosted application in diego cell. It periodically queries the Diego bulletin board system to determine which cells and containers each application currently runs on. Using this router recomputes new routing table based on IP addresses of each cell VM and the host side port number for the cell's container. Oauth2 Server(UAA) and Login server work together to provide the identity management. Cloud controller and Diego brain: CC is responsible for application life-cycle and deployment. It directs the diego brain through CC Bridge component to coordinate individual Diego cells to stage and run applications. CC also maintains record of orgs, spaces, user roles and services. nsync : recieves the message from CC when user scales an app. It writes number of instances into a desiredLRP s...
