Endpoints

An endpoint is a workload that stays behind a URL and answers calls, rather than running once to completion. Point it at an image and a port, and Aquanode routes calls to it, renting a machine when one is needed and releasing it when the queue is empty.

Endpoints live under Endpoints in the console sidebar, and are created there directly: nothing about creating one sends you to the Pods or Jobs page first.

What serves

Two starting points, both on the Endpoints create page itself:

• Your own image. Give it a public (or private, via a registry secret) image reference and the port it listens on. The image's own CMD is the server; there is no separate start command to fill in.
• A saved pod version. Pick one of your team's pod versions inline, on the same page, without leaving it.

Either way you set:

Next

• Scaling: queue-depth scaling, keeping one instance warm, and cold starts
• Calling an endpoint: tokens, the URL, and reading a result back
