Abstract: The invention relates to a computer network comprising a group of multiple computing resource infrastructures (51 to 56) associated with multiple orchestrators (41 to 46), said orchestrators being responsible for allocating the resources of this infrastructure (51 to 56) to one or more additional components of an already-hosted client application (17) and being grouped together in a swarm in which they are interconnected by a cooperation interface (3). The allocation of resources is decided by a decision method based first on evaluations distributed to the orchestrators (41 to 46), then on a consensus protocol, between the orchestrators (41 to 46), which is based on the evaluations and which is implemented at the cooperation interface (3) in order to select one of the infrastructures (51 to 56) from the group to host the additional component(s) of the client application (17).
