Provisioning Time

Source

Service User

Stimulus

Orders a service via the provided APIs.

Environment

AppCat enabled Kubernetes converged cluster

Artifact

kubectl or equivalent tool

Response

Instance ready (status condition)

Response measure

Instance ready depending on service architecture in normal conditions:

  • Standalone: within 10 minutes

  • Replicated: within 20 minutes

  • Clustered: within 30 minutes

Rationale

The user can work with the instance in an acceptable time frame.

  • The provided APIs can vary according to the environment.

  • The instance is provisioned asynchronously and its readiness status has to be polled regularly.

  • Cloud instances are excluded and they take as long as needed.
