Terminology

  • BaragonService - The api and accompanying worker that is central to all agents. BaragonService manages all requests, provides information about running services, and also serves up the BaragonUI
  • BaragonAgent or BaragonAgentService - The process running on each load balancer host. The agent is responsible for actually applying requests as resulting configuration files using templates
  • BaragonUI - A backbone.js user interface with the same capabilities as most BaragonService endpoints
  • cluster - All BaragonService and BaragonAgent instances in the same zookeeper quorum and namespace
  • loadBalancerService - An ID unique across a cluster which is the primary key for storing all information (paths, upstreams, etc) once a request has been successfuly applied. Associated with the BaragonService/BaragonServiceState objects
  • loadBalancerRequest - A BaragonRequest object that can be posted to BaragonService to either update or create a loadBalancerService
  • loadBalancerGroup - A group of agents that should all have identical configuration, grouped by a name. For example, several nginx load balancers behind the same ELB, or serving content for the same domain
  • basePath - The subpath on a loadbalancer at which the applied service should be available, must be unique within a loadBalancerGroup
