# Proposal

File Name: `filename.proposal.hive`

This Hive proposal outlines the deployment specifications for containerized applications using a YAML-based configuration file format. The proposal is structured into three main sections: `containers`, `scaling`, and `geographical_scaling`.

#### Containers Section:

The `containers` section defines individual containers with specific properties. Two containers are exemplified: `gpu_app_container`, designed for GPU-accelerated applications, and `webapp_container`, a standard web application container. Each container includes attributes such as resource requirements, Dockerfile locations, and scaling configurations.

#### Scaling Section:

The `scaling` section specifies parameters for auto-scaling. By setting `auto_scale` to true, the proposal allows automatic scaling of containers based on demand. Optionally, `max_scale` can be defined to set a maximum scaling limit.

#### Geographical Scaling Section:

The `geographical_scaling` section enables scaling based on geographical location. It allows for specifying the number of container instances deployed in different regions. This ensures data availability and distribution across various geographic locations.

#### Proposal Naming Convention:

The naming convention for the proposal files follows the format `filename.proposal.hive`. Each proposal file contains detailed specifications for deploying containers within a decentralized infrastructure.

This Hive proposal aims to provide clear and concise guidelines for deploying and scaling containerized applications within a decentralized network environment. It emphasizes flexibility, efficiency, and resource optimization in container management and distribution.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.dockhive.io/proposal.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
