Elastic run times - Cloud foundry

We have two API end points,

One for development environment - a.b.c.org.cloud

Another for POConcept environment - x.y.x.org.cloud

We use apps mgr, to view an API end point, that has its own organisation and space.

Each elastic runtime has diego cells running containers(garden) that host an application instance.

From the bosh automation of VM instances aspect,

1) Can I say that, each API end point have their own elastic run time ?

2) Is the route name of an app supposed to be unique across elastic runtimes? To avoid such errors

Yes, I guess you could say that. Each API represents a unique foundation or installation of CF.

2) Is the route name of an app supposed to be unique across elastic runtimes? To avoid such errors

Yes. If you have two foundations, you can have the same route for an app in each foundation. I'm not sure it's a common scenario, but there are reasons you might want to do that.

For example, if I have a domain example.com and I map the route www.example.com to an example my-cool-app. I can do that on both foundations.

I can then control which app running in two different foundations receives traffic by simply adjusting DNS. You could have all traffic to one of the foundations (perhaps having the other as a hot-spare) or you could split it across the two (perhaps to have more capacity or to route requests to facilities that are geographically closer to users).

That said, you must have a unique system domain for each foundation. This is the domain that's used by the API & other services like UAA, Apps Manager, etc... It's also advised that your apps domain, the default domain used apps on the foundation also be unique.

You can add as many additional domains as you like those and those can happily overlap foundations.

Hope that helps!
