Auction

This repository contains the source code for the Cloud Foundry package responsible for the details behind Diego's scheduling mechanism.

[!NOTE]

This repository should be imported as code.cloudfoundry.org/auction.

There are two components in Diego that participate in auctions:

• The Auctioneer is responsible for holding auctions whenever a Task or LongRunningProcess needs to be scheduled. The Auctioneers run on the Diego "Brain" nodes, and there is only ever one active Auctioneer at a time (determined by acquiring a lock in Locket). The Auctioneer communicates with Reps on all Cells when holding an auction.
• The Rep represents a Diego Cell in the auction by making bids and, if picked as the winner, running the Task or LongRunningProcess. There is one Rep running on every Diego Cell.
