ScaleManager

The ScaleManager oversees multiple VM instances and scales them correpsonding to a predefined ruleset.

It consists of multiple micro-services:

• Daemon service running on multiple VM instances reporting states in a predefined period of time
• Daemon-API receiving commands from the manager, builds commands usable by the environment the api runs on for the needed call (e.g. resize API-Call to Hoster)
• Collectors collecting all the data from the daemons, sending the data to the history and the queue which serves the data to the manager
• History receives data to store it in the connected EventLog (MySQL Database)
• Queue stream based queue to provide the event data to the manager for an ordered processing
• Manager this component manages the information retrieved by the queue. Based on predefined rules it desides whether there is any action to take or not.
  • A question to the history will be sent to retrieve informations for the rule matching the event coming from the queue
  • The answer helps to deside whether a command for resizing an instance is triggered or not.
  • Triggered commands will be inserted into the ActionLog, blocking any further rules that match the same event type to trigger the next command execution
  • After inserting into the ActionLog the command will be sent to the Instance or API managing the instances to take further actions
  • If the command could not be executed the manager also has the possibility to generate alerts, which can be retrieved via different endpoints (mail, chat, etc.)
• Cleaner The cleaner moves old date from the EventLog and the ActionLog to the archive with the goal to keep the index on those databases small

Running Tests

Unit Tests

In the project root directory, enter

$ vendor/bin/phpunit --bootstrap vendor/autoload.php tests/unit

Integration Tests

Before you can run the integration tests, you have to setup the expected environment. You need a recent version of docker-compose (> 1.10)for that.

Start the environment:

$ cd tests/fixtures
$ docker-compose up -d
$ cd ../..

Run the tests:

$ vendor/bin/phpunit --bootstrap vendor/autoload.php tests/integration

Stop the environment:

$ cd tests/fixtures
$ docker-compose stop
$ cd ../..
