Design documents

Design documents and meeting notes for Otter are collected here.

Convergence

• Converger battle plan (plans for implementing converger)
• Convergence specification (user contract, converge to capacity)
• Converger steps for supporting multiple LB implementations (generic vs concrete converger LB steps)
• Converging on desired load balancer state (describe converger contract w.r.t adding/removing nodes to/from load balancers)
• Converger meeting notes (2014 09 12) (basic components, consistency vs availability in scaling, ways to mitigate over-/underreaction)

Metrics

• Convergence metrics (different metrics, penalizing over- vs underprovisioning)

RCv3

• RCv3 recap (RCv3 in worker, shim approach to implementing convergence)

Process (development, deployment)

• Decoupling development from deployment (open source, attracting third-party contributors, deployment, continuous deployment)

Testing

• Convergence Test Plan
