Cross layer signaling for network resource scaling
A service executed on a container is associated with a bandwidth setting, a load balancer that includes a service traffic monitor, and a network switch with a network bandwidth monitor that includes a latency setting, both monitors communicating with a policy engine. The network bandwidth monitor determines first and second bandwidth usage rates of the service over a first time period and a later second time period. The service traffic monitor determines first and second request rates of the service over third and fourth time periods overlapping with the first and second time periods. The policy engine calculates first and second ratios of the first and second bandwidth usage rates to the first and second request rates. The latency setting or the bandwidth setting is increased based on comparing the first and second ratios.
