Abstract: A method for load balancing application requests across a multi-cluster container orchestration system includes receiving a load-balancing configuration for a multi-cluster service managing access to a set of destination clusters hosting a software application deployed by a user. The multi-cluster service uses the load-balancing configuration to load balance application level traffic across the set of destination clusters. Each destination cluster includes at least one container executing the software application and a respective geographical region. The method also includes receiving an application level request directed toward the software application hosted across the destination clusters. The application level request is received from a client and includes a host name and a geographical location associated with the client. The method also includes routing the request to one of the clusters based on the geographical location of the request and the respective geographical locations of the clusters.

Abstract: Described are systems, methods, and techniques for collecting, analyzing, processing, and storing time series data and for evaluating and dynamically estimating a resolution of one or more streams of data points and updating an output resolution. Responsive to receiving a stream of data points, a data resolution can be derived and an output resolution can be set to a first value. When a change to the data resolution is detected, the output resolution can be changed, modifying a frequency at which output data points are generated and/or transmitted. In some instances, a detector can be implemented to trigger an alert responsive to ingested data points corresponding with triggering parameters. An output resolution for the detector can be dynamically modified based on dynamically detecting a change to the data resolution of the stream of data.
