Methods, systems and apparatus to propagate node configuration changes to services in a distributed environment

A method for propagating node change events to a plurality of nodes included in a cluster, the method comprising:

• analyzing, by executing an instruction with a processor associated with a first node of the plurality of nodes, a node change event message obtained from a second node of the plurality of nodes to identify a node change event type included in the node change event message, the node change event message being an application programming interface call to the processor associated with the first node, the node change event type corresponding to a node change event experienced by the second node of the plurality of nodes;
• selecting, based on the node change event type, by executing an instruction with the processor associated with the first node of the plurality of nodes, a script associated with an action to be taken on the first node to reconcile a service supported by the first node with the node change event, the script from a data storage associated with the first node;
• and
• reconfiguring, by executing the script with the processor associated with the first node of the plurality of node, the service.

A tangible computer readable storage medium comprising computer readable instructions that, when executed, cause a first virtual appliance to at least:

• analyze, at the first virtual appliance, a node change event message obtained from a second virtual appliance to identify a node change event type included in the node change event message, the node change event message being an application programming interface call to the first virtual appliance, the node change event type corresponding to a node change event experienced on the second virtual appliance;
• select, based on the node change event type, a script associated with an action to be taken on the first virtual appliance to reconcile a service supported by the first virtual appliance with the node change event, the script from a data storage associated with the first virtual appliance;
• and
• reconfigure, by executing the script, the service.
