Multiple instances of an object
Robin Stacey
This would be really useful for us.
I would like to be able to diagram multiple instances to show:
- HA architectures (2 or instances of something for redundancy)
- Where use-case involves more than one deployment of an app. For example I want to show 4 of our Video Encoder instances being multiplexed into a common down-stream app.
I have 2 work-arounds in mind for now.
a) L2 diagram with duplicate of the Video Encoder app, labelled A/B/C/D etc. But these are not deep-copies and even if they were, it feels like it goes against the modelling philosophy as the linkage is broken.
b) L3 diagram where the instances are represented as components inside the app. They might just about pass but it is slightly misleading from a deployment perspective - we have 4 separate deployments of the pod but this looks like one with 4 services within.
Tim Gaweco I notice this is feature request is over a year old - please can you advise if there a recommended work-around for this requirement or if another feature request tracking this?
