    • This was due to her container running a single command and then stopping
    • To the user, this appears to be a CrashLoop, even though the command has successfully run

Prognosis

Aside from a slew of UX problems, the platform itself performed rather well!

Usage from 8 users peaked at:

  • ~10% Memory
  • ~6% CPU

This means that we should be able to easily support our target of 50 users.

Optimistically, assuming that gluster doesn't fall over and that our usage scales fairly linearly with increasing users, these results mean that we might be able to support upward of 60 or 70 users simultaneously using the Beta cluster without needing to resize it.
