DEGRADED AVAILABILITY ZONE REMEDIATION FOR MULTI-AVAILABILITY ZONE CLUSTERS OF HOST COMPUTERS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240036961 titled 'DEGRADED AVAILABILITY ZONE REMEDIATION FOR MULTI-AVAILABILITY ZONE CLUSTERS OF HOST COMPUTERS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a system and method for managing multi-availability zone (AZ) clusters of host computers in a cloud computing environment. It automatically detects the degraded state of a first AZ based on host failure events in a first cluster section located in the first AZ and the recovered state of the first AZ based on a successful scale-in operation of another multi-AZ cluster partially located in the first AZ.

  • The system automatically detects the degraded state of a first AZ in a cloud computing environment.
  • The detection is based on host failure events in a first cluster section located in the first AZ.
  • The system also detects the recovered state of the first AZ based on a successful scale-in operation of another multi-AZ cluster partially located in the first AZ.
  • In response to the degraded state of the first AZ, a second cluster section located in a second AZ is scaled out.
  • In response to the recovered state of the first AZ, the second cluster section located in the second AZ is scaled in.

Potential Applications:

  • Cloud computing environments with multi-AZ clusters can benefit from this technology to automatically manage and maintain the availability and performance of host computers.
  • This technology can be used in various industries that rely on cloud computing, such as e-commerce, healthcare, finance, and more.

Problems Solved:

  • Ensures the availability and performance of host computers in multi-AZ clusters by automatically detecting degraded states and scaling out or in accordingly.
  • Reduces manual intervention and human error in managing multi-AZ clusters in a cloud computing environment.

Benefits:

  • Improved availability and performance of host computers in multi-AZ clusters.
  • Automatic detection and response to degraded and recovered states of AZs.
  • Efficient management of multi-AZ clusters in a cloud computing environment.
  • Reduced downtime and improved reliability of cloud-based services.


Original Abstract Submitted

system and computer-implemented method for managing multi-availability zone (az) clusters of host computers in a cloud computing environment automatically detects a degraded state of a first az in the cloud computing environment based on host failure events for host computers in a first cluster section of a multi-az cluster of host computers located in the first az and a recovered state of the first az based a successful scale-in operation of another multi-az cluster located partially in the first az. in response to the detection of the degraded state of the first az, a second cluster section of the multi-az cluster of host computers located in a second az is scaled out. in response to the detection of the recovered state of the first az, the second cluster section of the multi-az cluster of host computers located in the second az is scaled in.
