Methods and apparatus for composite node creation and management through SDI partitions

A computer-implemented method, comprising:

• creating a plurality of partitions using one or more resources in a software-defined infrastructure (SDI) system, each partition comprising a respective composite node, of a plurality of composite nodes;
• updating a pre-composed nodes table, stored within a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, to reflect the creation of the plurality of partitions;
• receiving a request from an orchestrator for a node to execute an application;
• selecting a first composite node of the plurality of composite nodes from the pre-composed nodes table;
• and
• identifying, to the orchestrator, the first composite node to execute the application.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium that stores instructions for execution by processing circuitry of a software-defined infrastructure (SDI) system, the instructions to cause a SDI manager component of the SDI system to:

• create a plurality of partitions using one or more resources, each partition comprising a respective composite node, of a plurality of composite nodes;
• update a pre-composed nodes table, stored within a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, to reflect the creation of the plurality of partitions;
• receive a request from an orchestrator for a node to execute an application;
• select a first composite node of the plurality of composite nodes based on the pre-composed nodes table;
• and
• identify to the orchestrator, the first composite node to execute the application.

A software-defined infrastructure (SDI) system, comprising:

• means for creating a plurality of partitions using one or more resources in the SDI system, each partition comprising a respective composite node, of a plurality of composite nodes;
• means for updating a pre-composed partition table, stored within a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, to reflect the creation of the plurality of partitions;
• means for receiving a request from an orchestrator for a node to execute an application;
• means for selecting a first partition of the plurality of partitions based on the pre-composed partition table;
• and
• means for identifying, to the orchestrator, the first partition to execute the application.
