Global Capacity Management With Flux

Explore a 16-minute conference talk from OSDI '23 that delves into Meta's innovative solution for automating capacity regionalization in cloud environments. Learn about Flux, a system developed to address the challenges of distributing service capacity across numerous geo-distributed datacenter regions. Discover how Flux employs RPC tracing to identify service capacity models and computes optimal capacity and traffic distribution plans for thousands of services across multiple products. Gain insights into the system's ability to safely and efficiently rebalance service capacity and product traffic across dozens of regions continuously. Understand how this automated approach replaces manual processes, reducing toil and improving efficiency in managing complex service dependency graphs and varying regional capacity availability.
