Workspace API Connect

Limit CPU Consumption of API Connect componentes in Kubernetes Clusters to stay below purchased licenses

We use API Connect (including API Gateway) components in Kubernetes Clusters. we have purchased a certain amount of licenses (VPCs/PVUs). Currently there is no way to definie API Connect deployments to use no more CPUs than defined (for example: number of licenses purchased). There is only a possibility to define deployment profiles which will define the mimnimum number of CPUs.


Limiting the size (CPUs) of worker nodes to match the maximum number of CPUs used for API Connect is not a proper option, as

  • additional, non-API Connect traffic may also be running inside the same cluster

  • benefits of cluster deployments, like failover of pods to other worker nodes in case of an outage of a worker node, can not take effect.

We need a solution that gives IBM and us the guaranty that we stay within licensing limits and at the same lets us enjoy the benefit and flexibility of kubernetes deployments
