US 10,255,148 B2 · Primary role reporting service for resource groups

Abstract

Methods and apparatus for a primary role reporting service for resource groups are disclosed. A reporting intermediary assigned to a resource group of a network-accessible service receives role information indicating the identity of a primary member of the group from a state manager of the network-accessible service. The intermediary receives a health status query pertaining to the resource group from a health checking subsystem used by a network address discovery service, and provides a health status response based on the role information. The response provided by the reporting intermediary is used by the network address discovery service to provide a network address in response to a lookup query for the resource group.

Dependent claims

A system, comprising:

one or more computing devices configured to implement a network address discovery service to:
receive an assigned health status of healthy indicated as associated with a particular member of a resource group, wherein the resource group comprises at least two members;
receive, for each other member of the resource group, a corresponding assigned health status of unhealthy indicated as associated with the respective other member of the resource group irrespective of an actual health status of the respective other member;
and
responsive to a lookup query at the network address discovery service requesting a network address of the resource group, provide a network address of the particular member as the network address of the resource group based at least in part on the corresponding assigned health statuses of various members of the resource group.

2 more elements

A method, comprising:

performing, by one or more compute devices that implement a network address discovery service:
receiving an assigned health status of healthy indicated as associated with a particular member of a resource group, wherein the resource group comprises at least two members;
receiving, for each other member of the resource group, a corresponding assigned health status of unhealthy indicated as associated with the respective other member of the resource group irrespective of an actual health status of the respective other member;
and
responsive to a lookup query at the network address discovery service requesting a network address of the resource group, providing a network address of the particular member as the network address of the resource group based at least in part on the corresponding assigned health statuses of various members of the resource group.

2 more elements

One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media storing program instructions that when executed on or across one or more processors cause the one or more processors to:

receive an assigned health status of healthy indicated as associated with a particular member of a resource group, wherein the resource group comprises at least two members;
receive, for each other member of the resource group, a corresponding assigned health status of unhealthy indicated as associated with the respective other member of the resource group irrespective of an actual health status of the respective other member;
and
responsive to a lookup query requesting a network address of the resource group, provide a network address of the particular member as the network address of the resource group based at least in part on the corresponding assigned health statuses of various members of the resource group.
