  • Patent number: 11303703
    Abstract: A system is presented for load balancing across media server instances. In an embodiment, media is broken out into a multi-tenanted service allowing the media to be scaled independently of the number of organizations supported on a cloud-based collaboration platform. Scaling may occur in a scaling-out or a scaling-in operation. States for a media service may comprise in-service, quiescing, quiesced, failed, etc. The states may be used to monitor sessions associated with an instance and determine which media instances to terminate during a scaling-in operation. In an embodiment, new instances may be added to a collection of media instances in response to an increased workload in a scaling-out operation.
