Abstract

The disclosure provides efficient scalability and high availability of applications in a container orchestration cloud environment. A readiness orchestrator monitors the readiness of an application. Configuration data is managed by a configuration cache manger and can be stored locally or in a centralized database. The configuration for each subsystem is managed using a fully-qualified domain name (FQDN). The FQDN can be obtained using a Domain Name System (DNS) service. The load data of a content server (CS) subsystem and an independent Java method server (iJMS) subsystem are obtained and stored in the database. A helper pod is adapted for auto-scaling depending upon the load data and the configuration data of the CS subsystem and the iJMS subsystem to thereby maintain high availability of the CS subsystem and the iJMS subsystem in the container orchestration cloud environment.

Claims (41)

1. A method, comprising:

obtaining, by a readiness component orchestrator operating in a container orchestration cloud environment, load data of a content server (CS) subsystem and an independent Java method server (iJMS) subsystem running in the container orchestration cloud environment;

storing, by the readiness component orchestrator, the load data of the CS subsystem and the iJMS subsystem in a database table; and

scaling, by an auto-scaling helper pod operating in the container orchestration cloud environment, each of the CS subsystem and the iJMS subsystem depending upon the load data and configuration data of the CS subsystem and the iJMS subsystem to thereby maintain high availability of the CS subsystem and the iJMS subsystem in the container orchestration cloud environment.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the configuration data of the CS subsystem and the iJMS subsystem are stored in a cache managed by a configuration cache manager or in a centralized database in the container orchestration cloud environment.

3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the configuration data of the CS subsystem and the iJMS subsystem are managed using fully-qualified domain names (FQDNs).

4. The method according to claim 3 , further comprising:

obtaining a hostname from the configuration data;

mapping the hostname to a FQDN using a Domain Name System (DNS) service; and

making a connection to the FQDN, wherein the FQDN is associated with the CS subsystem or the iJMS subsystem.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the scaling comprises scaling a CS statefulset for the CS subsystem up or down.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the scaling comprises scaling an iJMS statefulset for the iJMS subsystem up or down.

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the obtaining comprising calling, by the readiness component orchestrator, a load monitoring component operating in the container orchestration cloud environment.

8. A system, comprising:

a processor;

a non-transitory computer-readable medium; and

stored instructions translatable by the processor for:

obtaining load data of a content server (CS) subsystem and an independent Java method server (iJMS) subsystem running in a container orchestration cloud environment;

storing the load data of the CS subsystem and the iJMS subsystem in a database table; and

scaling each of the CS subsystem and the iJMS subsystem depending upon the load data and configuration data of the CS subsystem and the iJMS subsystem to thereby maintain high availability of the CS subsystem and the iJMS subsystem in the container orchestration cloud environment.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the configuration data of the CS subsystem and the iJMS subsystem are stored in a cache managed by a configuration cache manager or in a centralized database in the container orchestration cloud environment.

10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the configuration data of the CS subsystem and the iJMS subsystem are managed using fully-qualified domain names (FQDNs).

11. The system of claim 10 , wherein the stored instructions are further translatable by the processor for:

obtaining a hostname from the configuration data;

mapping the hostname to a FQDN using a Domain Name System (DNS) service; and

making a connection to the FQDN, wherein the FQDN is associated with the CS subsystem or the iJMS subsystem.

12. The system of claim 8 , wherein the scaling comprises scaling a CS statefulset for the CS subsystem up or down.

13. The system of claim 8 , wherein the scaling comprises scaling an iJMS statefulset for the iJMS subsystem up or down.

14. The system of claim 8 , wherein the obtaining comprising calling a load monitoring component operating in the container orchestration cloud environment.

15. A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions translatable by a processor for:

obtaining load data of a content server (CS) subsystem and an independent Java method server (iJMS) subsystem running in a container orchestration cloud environment;

storing the load data of the CS subsystem and the iJMS subsystem in a database table; and

scaling each of the CS subsystem and the iJMS subsystem depending upon the load data and configuration data of the CS subsystem and the iJMS subsystem to thereby maintain high availability of the CS subsystem and the iJMS subsystem in the container orchestration cloud environment.

16. The computer program product of claim 15 , wherein the configuration data of the CS subsystem and the iJMS subsystem are stored in a cache managed by a configuration cache manager or in a centralized database in the container orchestration cloud environment.

17. The computer program product of claim 16 , wherein the configuration data of the CS subsystem and the iJMS subsystem are managed using fully-qualified domain names (FQDNs).

18. The computer program product of claim 17 , wherein the stored instructions are further translatable by the processor for:

obtaining a hostname from the configuration data;

mapping the hostname to a FQDN using a Domain Name System (DNS) service; and

making a connection to the FQDN, wherein the FQDN is associated with the CS subsystem or the iJMS subsystem.

19. The computer program product of claim 15 , wherein the scaling comprises scaling a CS statefulset for the CS subsystem up or down.

20. The computer program product of claim 15 , wherein the scaling comprises scaling an iJMS statefulset for the iJMS subsystem up or down.
