# Configuration settings for the auto-placer

dry_run: True

# Cooldown period to prevent rapid re-deployment
# Used as a safeguard to prevent rapid re-deployment of regions when traffic
# exceeds the adaptive threshold settings.
cooldown_period: 10  # Cooldown period in seconds

# Define parameters for calculating short-term and long-term traffic averages
# These parameters are used to analyze recent trends and overall patterns in traffic data
short_term_window: 5  # Number of recent data points to consider for short-term analysis
long_term_window: 20  # Number of data points to consider for long-term analysis
alpha_short: 0.3  # Exponential smoothing factor for short-term average (higher weight to recent data)
alpha_long: 0.1  # Exponential smoothing factor for long-term average (more stable, less reactive)

# Thresholds for traffic-based placement decisions
traffic_threshold: 50         # Deploy to regions with average traffic >= 50
