1. Auto-scaling (not yet available) in the remaining clusters takes
care of it for me automagically as the additional failed-over
traffic arrives (with some latency).
1. I manually specify "additional resources to be provisioned" per
remaining cluster, possibly proportional to both the remaining functioning resources
and the unavailable resources in the failed cluster(s).
(All the benefits of over-provisioning, without expensive idle resources.)
Doing nothing (i.e. forcing users to choose between 1 and 2 on their
own) is probably an OK starting point. Kubernetes autoscaling can get
us to three at some later date.
us to 3 at some later date.
Up to this point, this use case ("Unavailability Zones") seems materially different from all the others above. It does not require dynamic cross-cluster service migration (we assume that the service is already running in more than one cluster when the failure occurs). Nor does it necessarily involve cross-cluster service discovery or location affinity. As a result, I propose that we address this use case somewhat independently of the others (although I strongly suspect that it will become substantially easier once we've solved the others).
