  • Resource aware placement of applications in clusters
    Patent number: 9026837
    Abstract: Placing an application on a node in a cluster. A method includes detecting an unexpected event indicating that an application should be placed on a node in the cluster. Real time information about resource utilization on one or more nodes in the cluster is received. Based on the real time information, a determination of a node to place the application is made. The application is placed on the determined node.

  • Deployment of pre-scheduled tasks in clusters
    Patent number: 8875157
    Abstract: A method of managing a triggerable task in a cluster environment is described. The method includes accessing a definition of a task, wherein the definition includes a triggering event, and an action to be performed when the triggering event occurs. The method further includes, accessing a cluster policy defining how triggering events are interpreted on a node task basis for a plurality of nodes in a cluster. Based on the cluster policy, the method includes determining that the triggering event has occurred. As a result of the determination that the triggering event has occurred, the method further includes attempting to perform the action.

  • Automatic preemption in multiple computer systems
    Patent number: 8554919
    Abstract: Placing an application on a node in a cluster. A method includes determining that a first application cannot be placed on a first node in the first node's current running state. The method further includes determining that the first application may be able to be placed on the first node by shutting down or moving one or more other applications running on the first node. The method further includes attempting to shut down or move the one or more other applications on the first node to place the first application.
