Ask a Question!

Hello everyone ~ Who can tell me , Portainer have plans or implementations to support docker swarm auto scaling?
Thx a lot~

Hi, can you please confirm what you are aiming to achieve or expecting?

I have been using portainer to manage the swarm cluster, It's really very useful! But I found that it lacks some important support (although not commonly used, but very useful features). such as : docker swarm auto scaling support. I think Portainer is fully capable and easy to implement automatic threshold scaling based on resources (CPU or memory).
I mean it, It's really useful . But I don't know if Portainer has plans to support this feature?
so...... I just wanted to ask~ Thanks~

I think the portainer agent can easily help the portainer server collect threshold monitoring indicators as a data source for auto scaling of the portainer server, and then the portainer server can implement swarm container auto scaling.
Actually, I can also use APIs to implement it myself, but I think this approach serves the same purpose as the portainer agent. So if the portainer agent can achieve this, it would be perfect.
