Self-tuning clusters for resilient microservices

A computer program product disposed upon a non-transitory computer-readable medium, the computer program product comprising computer program instructions that, when executed, cause a computer to carry out the steps of:

• receiving, by a services orchestrator within a cloud-computing environment and from a plurality of cloud computing instances, respective latency measurements corresponding to respective control plane operations directed to a shared resource of the plurality of cloud computing instances;
• determining, based on a current timeout value and on the respective latency measurements from the plurality of cloud computing instances, an updated timeout value for the shared resource;
• and
• providing, to one or more of the plurality of cloud computing instances, the updated timeout value for the shared resource.

An apparatus comprising:

• a computer processor, and
• a computer memory operatively coupled to the computer processor, the computer memory having disposed within it computer program instructions that, when executed by the computer processor, cause the apparatus to carry out the steps of:
• receiving, by the computer processor, by a services orchestrator within a cloud-computing environment and from a plurality of cloud computing instances, respective latency measurements corresponding to respective control plane operations directed to a shared resource of the plurality of cloud computing instances;
• determining, by the computer processor, based on a current timeout value and on the respective latency measurements from the plurality of cloud computing instances, an updated timeout value for the shared resource;
• and
• providing, by the computer processor, to one or more of the plurality of cloud computing instances, the updated timeout value for the shared resource.
