Systems and method updating adc configuration with intended state using desired state api

A system for updating configuration of a device based on changes to microservices, the system comprising:

• a device comprising one or more processors, coupled to memory and intermediary to a plurality of clients and microservices, the device configured to receive a request via a desired state application programming interface (API) to update a configuration of the device to manage a desired set of instances of microservices, and identify from the request, a first set of endpoint information for each instance of a microservice in the desired set of instances of microservices;
• wherein the first set of endpoint information comprises an internet protocol (IP) address and port of an endpoint of a respective instance of the microservice;
• wherein the device is configured to communicate the first set of endpoint information to one or more packet engines of the device configured to manage network traffic to a current set of instances of microservices;
• wherein the one or more packet engines are configured to:
• determine a change between the first set of endpoint information and a second set of endpoint information configured on the one or more packet engine for each instance of the microservice in the current set of instances of microservices;
• and
• update, based at least on the change, the configuration of the one or more packet engines to manage the desired set of instances of microservices.
