In order to validate the feasibility and the possible caveats to implements an elastic
workers infrastructure, we will implement a poc managing the workers for the gitlab
repositories
- [x] First we need to refresh and land the kubernetes branch on the swh-environment to have a working example
- [x] Refresh the rancher VM on uffizi to test the solution in a pseudo real environment (created from scratch, cf. terraform/staging)
- [x] Create workers and register them in the rancher cluster
- [x] POC image building / deployment process (manual push on docker hub)
- [x] POC worker autoscaling according to message in queues
- [ ] POC worker autoscaling according to available ressources on the cluster
- [ ] cluster / elastic workers monitoring (nb of running workers, statsd, ...)
- [ ] Plug standard log ingestion with elastic workers
