Akka Cluster Kubernetes

This project is a working example of achieving Elasticity (in the sense of the Reactive Manifesto) using Akka Cluster and Kubernetes.

Elasticity is the ability of a system to scale its resources up and down according to the present need. We want to use just the right amount: nothing more, nothing less.

We combine custom resource metrics with logic to automatically adjust the configuration of the underlying cloud infrastructure.

An alternative example of cluster formation is in my other project CloudMatch, which uses the Akka Cluster Bootstrap - Kubernetes API module for Akka.

Usage

First, package the app localy in a Docker container:

sbt docker:publishLocal

Upload the image to your Kubernetes project:

gcloud docker -- push <your_project>:latest

From the k8s-deployment folder, start the whole thing with:

kubectl apply -f service.yaml

Now you can access nodes' logs. When done, shut down:

kubectl delete deployment akka-master
