Milestone
@fregataa's contribution of dummy agent backends (#1283) has allowed scalability tests for large-scale clusters.
Though, it is still cumbersome to actually configure and spawn hundreds of agents because we have to copy-and-edit
agent.toml
and executeag start-server
for hunderds times. Of course, we could automate this process by scripting, but it poses a psychological hurdle to start.As an extension of #496, let's allow a single agent to host multiple agent backend instances from a single configuration file.
agent.toml
to easily populate multiple backend configurations (including dummies)./tmp
(while parsing it in memory), so that it could be inspected by engineers and admins.agent.toml
files.For "real" backends, we need to resolve #496 first to get it actually working, but for "dummy" backends we can start right now.
