Abstract

A control loop for scaling cloud-based agents in a cluster includes a controller and a feedback signal. The controller may be a proportional-integral controller, or a proportional-integral-derivative controller. The controller may calculate a control variable based on a target number of idle agents for the cluster. The controller receives a target number of idle agents, as well as a current number of idle agents in a cluster. The controller computes the control variable based on the error between the target and current numbers of idle agents, and an integral of the error over time.
