Amplifying scaling elasticity of microservice meshes

摘要

A mesh-type scaler is selected for performing overall mesh-wide scaling of a microservices mesh. The microservices mesh is scaled with the mesh-type scaler and one or more mesh scaling rules to generate a predicted value for a monitoring parameter of one or more monitoring parameters. A single-service-type scaler is selected. The monitoring parameter is measured with the single-service-type-scaler to generate a measured value. For an individual service associated with the microservices mesh, a target value is calculated for the monitoring parameter using the predicted value and the measured value. The target value is compared against a defined threshold to generate a scaling value used to determine if scaling is needed with respect to the individual service.
