nfd-planner

Plan your deployments, easily! This module is not though of being used alone, but rather it is a internal dependency of nscale.

var  amiDefinition = {
        "name": "Virtual Machine"
      , "type": "aws-ami"
      , "id": uuid.v1()
    }

  , origin = {
        "name": "white sheet"
      , "namespace": "white sheet"
      , "id": uuid.v1()
      , "containerDefinitions": []
      , "topology": {
            "containers": {}
        }
    }

  , machine = {
        "id": uuid.v1()
      , "containerDefinitionId": amiDefinition.id
      , "specific": {
            "ipaddress": "10.74.143.152"
        }
    }

  , dest = {
        "name": "single instance"
      , "namespace": "single instance"
      , "id": uuid.v1()
      , "containerdefinitions": [ amidefinition ]
      , "topology": {
            "containers": {}
        }
    }

machine.containedBy = machine.id

dest.topology.containers[machine.id] = machine

console.log(planner(origin, dest))
//prints
//[{
//   cmd: "add"
// , id: machine.id
// , parent: machine1.id
//}, {
//   cmd: "start"
// , id: machine.id
// , parent: machine1.id
//}, {
//   cmd: "link"
// , id: machine.id
// , parent: machine1.id
//}]

See examples/whitesheet.js for an example with an ELB, an AMI and 2 docker instances.

See examples/dirty.js for an example that spin up an AMI with a new docker instance within an ELB. docker instances.

For the sake of simplicity, each commands includes the parent id. This is where the command will be executed most of the time.

Safe deployment

The default mode of planning is 'quick', which means that the parent is not unlinked before operating. This is quicker than 'safe' mode that unlink the parent before operating, i.e. it removes an AMI instance from the ELB. Usage:

planner(origin, dest, { mode: 'safe' })
