Orchestration

Control Theory In Container Orchestration

Are you talking of automation systems control theory?

It's about applying control theory as an existing engineering rather than accidentally reinventing control theory when you're building automation. I'm going to introduce the fundamentals of control theory, the terminology, and I'll step through some increasingly complex cases in orchestration. Starting with something very simple, maybe health checking container, and going out to focus on auto-scaling. Incrementally bring in more terminology and bring in more concepts, such as cold PID controllers. Concept-scenario, concept-scenario.

Who's the audience you are addressing? Poope that are building orchestration tools or those using them?

I'm not sure if I have a focus between those two. A lot of it is to people who are building orchestrators or heavily customising, which can go from customizing code to just very heavily leveraging settings. Auto-scaling is something I want to focus on because that's something that many people heavily customize based on particular servers, particular apps, even if they're not writing platform.
