Abstract: A method may include determining a first performance of a first compute task on one or more computational devices, wherein the first performance may be determined based on a first weight of the first compute task, determining a second performance of a second compute task on the one or more computational devices, and assigning, based on the first performance and the second performance, the first compute task to at least one of the one or more computational devices. The method may further include determining, based on a characteristic of the first compute task, the first weight. The characteristic of the first compute task may include at least one of a type of the first compute task, computational complexity of the first compute task, priority of the first compute task, latency of the first compute task, or amount of data used by the first compute task.

Abstract: Providing high availability for backup and restore applications in public clouds is described. A system creates a first virtual machine and a second virtual machine for at least one zone of a public cloud. The system creates a disk in the public cloud, and enables a selection to attach the disk as a shared disk to the first virtual machine and/or the second virtual machine; The system creates object storage that stores backup data for the first virtual machine and/or the second virtual machine. The system deploys the first virtual machine as an active node that executes a backup and restore application and the second virtual machine as a passive node that executes the backup and restore application when the active node fails to execute the backup and restore application.
