I have a question regarding Python and load balancing. Consider a virtual machine with 16 virtual cpu cores and single Python Rest-Service wrapped in Docker. I suppose it only is going to use one virtual core instead of the 16 when run. Now consider 8 duplicates of the Python Rest-Service run in a docker compose parallel behind a load balancer (upstream). Do they use 8 of the 16 cores? And if so how do they know which one to use? Also do the virtual cores make any difference, what about a real system with real 16 cores? If anyone has any experience or knowledge I would be happy if you could share it. Thank you! Continue reading...
