The goal of this project is to provide an easy-to-use client interface to Eureka, a middle-tier load balancer open sourced and used by Netflix.
It's fairly straight forward to use once you hve setup Eureka itself. Consider the following script (to be run on EC2):
from eureka.client import EurekaClient
import logging
logging.basicConfig()
ec = EurekaClient("MyApplication",
eureka_domain_name="test.yourdomain.net",
region="eu-west-1",
vip_address="http://app.yourdomain.net/",
port=80,
secure_vip_address="https://app.yourdomain.net/",
secure_port=443
)
print ec.get_zones_from_dns()
print ec.get_eureka_urls()
print ec.register()
print ec.update_status("UP") # Or ec.register("UP")
print ec.heartbeat()
