- Hypervisor application listens for messages and maintans a collection of registered application instances to monitor.
- If no message from an instance within the delinquency time for that instance then trigger instance failure.
- Upon trigger kills previous instance (if found) and starts a new instance.
- if an instance is found and killed then delay 5s before start new instance.
- Provides ample time for previous killed instance and its handles to fully dispose.
- if an instance is found and killed then delay 5s before start new instance.
- Start/restarts are minimum 30s apart.
- Helps prevent overload and interference between instances.
- Client application run a loop and send a message to hypervisor every interval.
- Suggest 5 second intervals and delinquency of 90s, however delinquency time heavily dependent upon gestalt
- For basic needs a static 5s/90s will be good enough.
- Some applications may warrant a variable delinquency based on the current state of the instance.
