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 - Logging, Scaling and High Availability

 How do you access application logs? cf logs APP_NAME cf start APP_NAME To see the logs of particular pcf sub system. cf logs APP_NAME | grep "API\|CELL" To exclude particular logs cf logs APP_NAME | grep -v "API\|CELL" To see application events i.e. start, stop, crash etc... cf events APP_NAME To display all the lines in the Loggregator buffer cf logs APP_NAME --recent  What are the components of the Loggregator system? Loggregator is the next generation system for aggregating and streaming logs and metrics from all of the user apps and system components in a Cloud Foundry deployment. Primary use: 1. Tail/dump logs using CLI.  2. Stream to 3rd party log archive and analysis service 3. Operators and admins can access Loggregator Firehouse, the combined stream from all the apps and metrics data. 4. Operators can deploy nozzle to the firehouse.  A nozzle is a component that monitors the Firehose for specified events and metrics,
