  • Publication number: 20260211568
    Abstract: An information handling system may include at least one processor and a memory. The information handling system may be configured to: receive configuration information for a first information handling system cluster of nodes of a first type and for a second information handling system cluster of nodes of a second type, wherein the information handling system is a node of the first type; provision the second information handling system cluster onto a set of nodes of the second type based on the configuration information, including installing a management component onto the first information handling system cluster; and cause the management component to provision the first information handling system cluster onto a set of nodes of the first type based on the configuration information, wherein the set of nodes of the first type includes the information handling system.

  • Publication number: 20260205512
    Abstract: An information handling system may include at least one processor and a memory. The information handling system may be configured to: perform a first primary node election among a plurality of nodes of an information handling system cluster to determine a first primary node, wherein the first primary node election is based on a multi-cloud election algorithm; determine a cloud intent associated with the plurality of nodes; cause the first primary node to install a cloud-specific election component to the information handling system cluster; cause the cloud-specific election component to perform a second primary node election among the plurality of nodes to determine a second primary node, wherein the second primary node election is based on a cloud-specific election algorithm based on the determined cloud intent; and cause the second primary node to act as a primary node of the cluster of information handling systems.
