Project Description

FOSSology is designed in modular fashion but it certainly does not follow micro-service architecture. If there is a change in an agent's logic, the whole source code has to be built again and installed. Whereas in micro-service architecture, only this agent needs to be built and installed/deployed.

Current Draw backs of installing FOSSology in cluster mode​

  • When adding or removing a node, scheduler needs to be restarted.
  • Every node needs to have same set of agents.
  • Because of the current version check mechanism on scheduler, for a single change, the whole code base needs to be redeployed to get new version string.

Project Goal​

  • Ability to add one agent to each node for easier updating and scaling.
  • Dynamically adding new nodes without the need to restart or stop the scheduler
  • Kubernetes deployment for easy scaling in or out
