What this skill does
Akka.NET Management and Service Discovery When to Use This Skill Use this skill when: Deploying Akka.NET clusters to Kubernetes or cloud environments Replacing static seed nodes with dynamic service discovery Configuring cluster bootstrap for auto-formation Setting up health endpoints for load balancers Integrating with Azure Table Storage, Kubernetes API, or config-based discovery Reference Files discovery-providers.md: Config, Kubernetes, and Azure discovery setup with full code and deployment YAML configuration-reference.md: Strongly-typed configuration model classes Overview Akka.Management provides HTTP endpoints for cluster management and integrates with Akka.Cluster.Bootstrap to enable dynamic cluster formation using service discovery instead of static seed nodes. Why Use Akka.Management? Approach Pros Cons ---------- ------ ------ Static Seed Nodes Simple, no dependencies Doesn't scale, requires known IPs Akka.Management Dynamic discovery, scales to N nodes More configuration, external dependencies Use static seed nodes for: Development, single-node deployments, fixed infrastructure. Use Akka.Management for: Kubernetes, auto-scaling groups, dynamic environments, production clusters. --- Architecture --- Required NuGet Packages --- Akka.Hosting Configuration Basic Setup with Mode Selection Akka.Management Configuration See discovery-providers.md for complete Config, Kubernetes, and Azure discovery setup code. See configuration-reference.md for the full strongly-typed configuration model classes. --- Health Endpoints Akka.Management exposes health endpoints for load balancers and orchestrators: Endpoint Purpose Returns 200 When ---------- --------- ------------------ /alive Liveness ActorSystem is running /ready Readiness Cluster member is Up /cluster/members Debug Returns cluster membership ASP.NET Core Health Check Integration --- Troubleshooting Cluster Won't Form Symptoms: Nodes stay as separate single-node clusters.
