Hello Guys,
Let me first brief you guys about our setup.
We have one docker machine and in that machine we have got 3 environment with two container each. Each environment consist of 1 tomcat and 1 mysql containers. The ec2 machine we are using for docker host is of 8 GB RAM and 4 CPU. These environments are used by three testers. Each environment for each tester.
I have configured jenkins and integrated docker with jenkins. So during the build process every-time I create a fresh tomcat container so that they will have a fresh instance to test.
I have configured apache as a reverse proxy which proxies to each tomcat container. For example we have abc.xyz.com, def.xyz.com, ijk.xyz.com.
Now the problems that I want to solve
-
If suppose new tester joins our team then I will have to provide him a separate container environment, lets say lmn.xyz.com., but when I create this new environment. the performance of application starts to degrade. So how would I tackle this?
-
Suppose our technical architect wants to check some changes in a new environment, then I will have to create one more temporary environment for him as well.
-
It is not like every environment will run every time.
So basically I can solve this by creating one more docker machine and creating the new environment in that docker but I don’t want to create so many docker instances instead I want it to autoscale whenever there is an need of new environment and whenever we don’t that new environment.
In this scenarios I need your suggestion how would I proceed?
