  • System and method for providing a node replacement controller for use with a software application container orchestration system
    Patent number: 11677616
    Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, described herein is a system and method use of a controller with a software application container orchestration system, which is adapted to provide safe and efficient replacement of nodes in a containerized environment. A node replacement controller drives the process of node replacement, and indirectly and asynchronously interacts, through metadata, with an implementation-specific node processor, and application-specific health controller, to discover nodes that should be processed, determine when the application workload is in a stable state, declare those nodes as ready to be processed, and determine when those nodes have finished processing. The node replacement controller can be implemented once for a given type of container orchestration system, and then applied to other container orchestration implementations (vendors) and workload types using that container orchestration system.
