I am studying it by myself. If you can share any thoughts on this topic, I really appreciate your help!

Thanks.

Hi Cindy,

There are three ingress controllers. One for kube-system services, one for openstack services, one for mariadb dedicatedly. With current simplex deployment, by default, there are no ingress created in kube-system namespace (I didn’t see it in my deployment). In openstack namespace, I can see many ingresses created, like aodh, barbican, ceilometer, cinder, glace, horizon, nova, keystone, neuron, etc.

Regarding frequency, I am unsure. That’s why I initialize this discussion, and hope to get feedbacks from community experts.

Thanks.

Yi,

What service request will Nginx accept and process, and on what kind of frequency? Just need to evaluate how it is being used and the required responsiveness.

Thx. - cindy

Hi all,

Any recommends on the setting for the number of nginx worker processes of ingress controllers? Thanks.

BR.

Subject: [Starlingx-discuss] About Nginx worker process number

Hi Brent,

I am working on the bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/starlingx/+bug/1823803 which is about large nginx worker process number. With current starlingx code, there are three nginx ingress controllers, one for kube-system namespace ingress, one for openstack namespace ingress, and the last one for mariadb. Each controller creates as many worker processes as the number of cores.

I have initialized three patches to fix this issue. I have no idea about how much the workload of the three ingress controllers will be, so I temporally set the number of worker processes as 1. Do your experts have any suggestions on this setting? Thanks.
