i would encourage you to consider a circuit breaker pattern like hystrix which will have graceful degradation if a remote endpoint is unavailable because it has not started yet, has too many failures,

My concern is the default behavior. When I first prototyped this support in February, I never expected that merely accessing a container would cause it to be terminated. As we can see from Jan's

I was about to suggest a similar UX for expressing a list of route services, by relying on params ordering cf update-route DOMAIN [-n HOST] (-s 'service instance' )* cf update-route DOMAIN [-n HOST]

No. My endpoints don't change. I envision having a number of 12 factor stateless applications getting deployed using CF push (java buildpacks). Some of these stateless apps need to talk to each

can you describe the architecture of your applications? do the endpoints change often after some mircoservices have been started? your app needs some way to look up other network endpoints it needs.

database, Consul..can it be used for stateless components as well? Well here is a way to look at it. You can have consul to discover a bunch of cassandra nodes in a cluster, and you can remove a node

looks like the docs are only at 2.4: http://docs.cloudfoundry.org/services/api.html 2.5 should only have been incremental changes and should be backward compatible with other 2.x versions. when you

micro-service architecture. Yes - would like for applications to discover the URL of other applications deployed in CF . Consul is what I use right now - was wondering if CloudFoundry had something

Hi all, I'm trying to implement a service broker for cf-release v210. I implemented my service broker in cf-release v207 based on this service broker

What's the requirement that your application need to discover other application? Did you mean somethibg like say microservice architecture and you want to know the url available and any metadat /

Hi, In CF space - the applications that get deployed in warden containers - how do they discover other applications ? Should we pick a third party like Consul or Eureka, or does CF provide an

I shared one simple technique in this slide [1], see Page 20. Basically you can add ";sleep 1d" to the start command of your application, to keep the container around for one day. You can remove the

you can turn the "restart tainted containers" feature off with configuration if you are authorized to do so. then using scp to write files into a container would be persisted for the lifetime of the

What is the purpose of being able to copy a file into an instance if the instance is restarted as soon as the file has been received? Cheers, -Jan

Dear CF community, I'm pleased to announce that the Diego team is nearing completion of our initial track of work to enable SSH access to app instances running on Diego. We've recently published some

Thanks Shannon, Though James' suggestion would work if the the service bound to a route doesn't use a proxy then the order become irrelevant. It would be inconvenient to have to list all of the

This is great. Thank you, Mike. FWIW, James had the following suggestion update-route could be used to associate multiple routes, and express their chain order. We're not fixed on this UX. We'll

that's quite a release! thanks to everyone who contributed. i really like this list of packaged dependencies, that makes it very simple to see what's inside. wrote: -- Thank you, James Bayer

I would imagine you could bind a service to a route any time you want to customize incoming traffic in some way. But that customization wouldn't necessarily have to be implemented as a proxy. Here
