This example used an edge-proxy (frontend/front-envoy) to accept incoming GRPC calls and routes them to a set of backend services which fullfil the requests.
The client creates a single gRPC stub to the edge-proxy and calls stub.SayHelloRequest
10 times. When both helloworld services are up and running each succesive call gets
properly load-balanced between the backend services. This is an example of L7 load-
balancing of HTTP2 requests.
In one window,
docker-compose up
In another window, run the client:
cd client
docker-compose run --rm client
You can target each of the individual instances on ports 9001
and 9002
respectively.

Modify /config/active
by commenting out one of the serviceX
endpoints. Run ./update.sh
the proxy running. This will update the eds.yaml
created on startup and trigger an update
such that only the hosts in the active
file are included in the load-balancing`
Added outlier detection to the helloworld
cluster. This will drop any endpoint if 5 consecutive
5xx are triggered. For demo purposed, we may need to move that to 1. Hosts will comeback into
service when they are alive again on a linearly increasing backoff rate; truly dead hosts/endpoints
should be ejected from the EDS list by the active health checker performed by the EDS.
