High Availability Design for a Container Cloud Platform Monitoring and Management Module

In container cloud computing environments, the stability and reliability of monitoring systems are critical for maintaining the overall health of the cloud platform. However, while many open-source monitoring components offer powerful functionalities, they often lack capabilities to monitor, respond to, and handle their own faults. This paper aims to design a highly available monitoring and management module to address this gap, ensuring that the monitoring system itself possesses fault tolerance and self-healing capabilities. The module is built on the widely used open-source monitoring software Prometheus. By integrating APIs for automated health checks and fault recovery, this study enhances its self-monitoring and self-repair capabilities. These APIs will periodically assess the health status of Prometheus itself and automatically trigger recovery procedures upon detecting issues, thereby reducing system downtime.
