WORKLOAD PLACEMENT RESPONSIVE TO FAULT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18100812 titled 'WORKLOAD PLACEMENT RESPONSIVE TO FAULT
The present disclosure discusses workload placement in response to faults within a software-defined data center (SDDC).
- Remove a faulty host from one cluster and place it in another designated for stateless workloads.
- Add a new host to the original cluster to maintain workload balance.
Potential Applications: - Data centers - Cloud computing environments - Virtualization technologies
Problems Solved: - Efficient fault response in SDDCs - Optimal workload distribution
Benefits: - Improved fault tolerance - Enhanced workload management - Increased system reliability
Commercial Applications: Title: "Optimized Workload Placement Technology for Enhanced Data Center Performance" This technology can be used in data centers to improve fault response and workload management, leading to increased efficiency and reliability in cloud computing environments.
Questions about Workload Placement Technology: 1. How does this technology improve fault tolerance in software-defined data centers? - This technology enhances fault response by efficiently redistributing workloads in response to host failures, ensuring system reliability.
2. What are the potential benefits of using stateless clusters for specific workloads? - Stateless clusters can provide a more stable environment for certain workloads, reducing the impact of host failures and improving overall system performance.
Original Abstract Submitted
The present disclosure relates to workload placement responsive to fault. One embodiment includes instructions to remove a first host from a first cluster of a software-defined datacenter (SDDC) responsive to a determination of a fault in a hypervisor of the first host, place the first host into a second cluster of the SDDC, wherein the second cluster is designated to run stateless workloads, and add a second host to the first cluster.
