Abstract: Managing containerized workloads, such as by Kubernetes, provides a robust and expandable platform. Kubernetes high-availability (HA) mode provides additional safeguards against failure that allows services to be maintained without interruption in the event of a partial system or network failure.

System and methods are provided to convert a worker-only node into a master node in order to reestablish a quorum. Once functionality is restored, the converted master is reverted back to a worker-only node and the restored master, and remaining masters, maintain the quorum.

Abstract: A web browser can manage different session cookies associated with a website by storing the session cookies in distinct tab storage locations associated with different tabs of the web browser, instead of in a global storage location accessible by any tab of the web browser.

Accordingly, even if the website does not natively support multiple concurrent user sessions with the web browser, the web browser can send different session cookies to the website based on which tab of the web browser is active, and thereby allow users to engage in different user sessions with the website in different tabs.
