Really nice post, and thank you.
I am building a similar auto scaling project inspired by your solution. And I found an edge case which may result in an incorrect ‘schedulable_containers’ metric with embedded gist.
Let’s say there are two EC2 instances:
- instance-001(remaining cpu: 10000, remaining memory: 4000)
2. instance-002(remaining cpu:4000, remaining memory: 10000)
And there two tasks:
- task-1 needs 1024 cpu and 4096 memory
2. task-2 needs 4096 cpu and 1024 memory
In such a case, the gist will send 0 as the ‘schedulable_containers’ metric, but actually 2 task1 can be scheduled in instance-002, and 2 task2 can be scheduled in instance-001
