Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.
What is Eirini?
Eirini is a thin layer of abstraction on top of Kubernetes that allows Cloud Foundry to deploy applications as Pods on a Kubernetes cluster. Eirini uses the Diego abstractions of Long Running Processes (LRPs) and Tasks to capture Cloud Foundry's notion of long running processes and one-off tasks.
Deployment instructions are available at: cloudfoundry-incubator/eirini-release.
Components
Eirini is composed of:
-
api: The main component, provides the REST API used by the Cloud Controller. It's responsible for starting LRPs and tasks. -
event-reporter: A Kubernetes reconciler that watches for LRP instance crashes and reports them to the Cloud Controller. -
instance-index-env-injector: A Kubernetes webhook that inserts theCF_INSTANCE_INDEXenvironment variable into every LRP instance (pod). -
task-reporter: A Kubernetes reconciler that reports the outcome of tasks to the Cloud Controller and deletes the underlying Kubernetes Jobs after a configurable TTL has elapsed. -
eirini-controller: A Kubernetes reconciler that acts on create/delete/update operations on Eirini's own Custom Resouce Definitions (CRDs). This is still experimental.
