  • Automatic cluster scaling based on varying workloads
    Patent number: 11411886
    Abstract: A method manages a cluster. A computer system determines a measurement of a process variable for the cluster, wherein the process variable indicates a quality of service for the cluster. The computer system determines a comparison between the measurement of the process variable and a desired value for the process variable. The computer system determines an adjustment to a setpoint for a runtime metric in the cluster based on the comparison, wherein the runtime metric is a control variable for the cluster. The computer system updates the setpoint for the runtime metric in a controller for the cluster using the adjustment, wherein the runtime metric is used by the controller as the control variable to scale a set of resources in the cluster to cause a value of the runtime metric to move towards the setpoint.
