  • Update management for a distributed computing system
    Patent number: 9804901
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method receives a software upgrade package for a management computer and main computer. The management computer upgrades software of the management computer using the software upgrade package where the upgrading replaces an image of the software of the management computer with an image from the software upgrade package. Upon upgrade of the management computer, the management computer initiates an upgrade of the main computer. The main computer withdraws use of the services, and upon the withdrawing, the management computer reboots the main computer. Then, the main computer upgrades software of the main computer using the software upgrade package upon rebooting where the upgrading replaces an image of the software of the main computer with an image from the software upgrade package. Upon the upgrading, the main computer restores the use of the services.

  • Fault tolerance for a distributed computing system
    Patent number: 9645811
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method detects a failure of a container in a controller node where the container includes a service being performed and isolated from other services being performed in other containers on the controller node. The controller node terminates the container including the service and determines a known state for the service. The known state is known to be operational without including a cause of the failure and the service operated from the known state saving changes to the known state during operation separately from the known state. The controller node restarts the service in a new container that replaces the terminated container where the restarted service starts from the known state without using the changes.
