Ok, i’m gonna be deploying a bunch of containers that will essentially be turned on when users try to login, so we can scale them to zero because 99% of the time users won’t need them.

I’m going to go with a lightweight webpage that users log into and then select you know which service they basically want to connect to, which will then trigger the containers to be sworn up which takes about 10 to 20 seconds, but which point they’ll then be bounced to the service running on that container to use it.

What are some things I can put on a webpage to essentially distract or entertaining user for 10 to 20 seconds so that they’re not annoyed by the wait for the container to spin up ?

@kurtseifried But really, I always like landscape photos or cute animals for splash screens and such.

@cR0w actually now that you say that one thought I have is that we could show the user essentially a summary of what they were previously working on in that system to sort of prime them for the next bit of work they wanna do.

@kurtseifried Or give them a short moment of calm before diving back in to work?
