[FI-NEXT] FIWARE Lab Nodes Sustainability Phone Call - Doodle Poll

Hi Juanjo,
apologises, in dead we were not meant to have a technical discussion in here, but unfortunately we slipped. The technical discussion, as discussed in the call,
has to be organised in the TSC. The point was to provide inputs regarding the experience over the lab in relation to sustainability and discuss what type of “federation”
will make that easier.

The meeting had some conclusions in these respect that will be presented and discussed in the TSC (not sure when we could have a slot).

Best,
Federico
Dr. Federico Michele Facca
Head of Martel Lab

This one should go into the FIWARE TSC most probably, since it is a) generic and b) is very much related to the topics of discussion held in recent FIWARE TSC meetings.

My understanding is that it is just a matter to "federate" the monitoring but all the rest is completely independent. Am I wrong? It probably also means that common policies, practices and tools are shared, but is there something more?

>>> Assuming that Rancher will be come part of FIWARE (and this I suppose it is subject to TSC discussion), you can register nodes from different providers (i.e. FIWARE Lab nodes) and then deploy the cluster on top. So in principle, it will be possible having rancher to manage a cluster across multiple FIWARE lab nodes. Said so, I am not sure it is technically a good idea due to the latency you may have between the cluster hosts. I doubt it’s the recommended solution for a multisite docker cluster. I tend to think that it’s better to have an independent cluster on each node and use “external links” to connect services across the two clusters.
