Research direction

Review RFD 411 and the development-cluster deployment path, using nexus as the concrete example. Determine where control-plane service instance counts are selected and how configuration could support both single-node and higher-replica testing. Done means development deployments can tune service counts and the behavior is covered for the described use cases.

Description

development

This came up in some of my RFD 411 research. It would be nice to be able to tune the number of instances of control plane services deployed in development clusters, particularly for single-node clusters.

A concrete example that comes up a lot for me is nexus: If I'm not testing something related to multi-node nexus, it's simpler to only have to look at one set of nexus logs while I test and debug. Having a configuration knob here would make use of resources on a development machine easier to tune; the flip side is also true, where one might want to deploy more of a given service to do different types of testing.
