Simplifying Day-2 Operations with Agent Pools
Implementing Day-2 Operations such as agent replacement is cumbersome today because every configuration tied to a previous agent must be reconfigured manually. This makes tasks like scaling, retiring agents, or handling failures both error-prone and time-consuming.
To address this pain point, we are introducing the concept of an Agent Pool.
Why Agent Pools?
Instead of binding configurations directly to individual agents, customers can now attach multiple agents to a shared Agent Pool. Configurations such as Environment Templates and Resource Templates reference the pool, rather than a single agent.
This simple shift brings significant operational benefits:
-
Seamless Failover and Replacement
Add or remove agents from a pool without reconfiguring existing associations. -
Simplified Day-2 Operations
Manage scaling, upgrades, and retirements without disruption. -
Load Balancing
Distribute load across multiple agents within a pool for higher availability and performance.
