Solver for cluster management system

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed by a processing device, cause the processing device to perform operations comprising:

• receiving a first cluster management operation request, the first cluster management operation request being for a deployment operation of a first cluster and indicating a specified number of nodes and a cluster template, the cluster template being absent a cluster layout and comprising a plurality of constraints for determining a cluster layout;
• deterministically solving, by the processing device, for a first cluster layout comprising the specified number of nodes, each of the specified number of nodes comprising a hardware type, an image type and one or more services, wherein the first cluster layout satisfies the plurality of constraints, and wherein the plurality of constraints specifies one or more hardware types for a node for each corresponding service of the one or more services that is installed on the node and one or more image types for the node for each corresponding service that is installed on the node;
• outputting the first cluster layout;
• and
• automatically deploying the first cluster in accordance with the first cluster layout.

A computing device comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• a processing device coupled to the memory, the processing device to:
• receive a first cluster management operation request, the first cluster management operation request being for a deployment operation of a first cluster and indicating a specified number of nodes and a cluster template, the cluster template being absent a cluster layout and comprising a plurality of constraints for determining a cluster layout;
• deterministically solve for a first cluster layout comprising the specified number of nodes, each of the specified number of nodes comprising a hardware type, an image type and one or more services, wherein the first cluster layout satisfies the plurality of constraints, and wherein the plurality of constraints specifies one or more hardware types for a node for each corresponding service of the one or more services that is installed on the node and one or more image types for the node for each corresponding service that is installed on the node;
• output the first cluster layout;
• and
• automatically deploying the first cluster in accordance with the first cluster layout.
