Techniques for deploying workloads on nodes in a cloud-computing environment

A device for deploying workloads on nodes in a cloud-computing environment, comprising:

• a memory storing one or more parameters or instructions for deploying workloads in the cloud-computing environment;
• and
• at least one processor coupled to the memory, wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
• execute multiple workloads in a cloud-computing environment cluster, wherein each workload of the multiple workloads corresponds to a separate instance of a process that is executed according to a separate configuration;
• execute a standby workload as a second instance of the process without at least a portion of the separate configuration used by the multiple workloads;
• and
• based on detecting termination of one of the multiple workloads, configure the standby workload to execute based on the separate configuration of the separate instance of the process corresponding to the one of the multiple workloads,
• wherein the process corresponds to a remote unit (RU) process in a mobile edge computing environment, and the multiple workloads are each for a different configuration of the RU process, and the standby workload is the second instance of the RU process without at least the portion of the separate configuration.

A device for deploying workloads on nodes in a cloud-computing environment, comprising:

• a memory storing one or more parameters or instructions for deploying workloads in the cloud-computing environment;
• and
• at least one processor coupled to the memory, wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
• determine, for a process to be provided in the cloud-computing environment, a desired number of workloads of the process to be executed in the cloud-computing environment, wherein the desired number of workloads are each of a different configuration of the process;
• determine a physical location of one or more nodes for deploying one or more workloads based on the desired number of workloads;
• determine, based on the desired number of workloads and based on one or more failure probabilities associated with the physical location of the one or more nodes, an actual number of workloads of the process to execute in the cloud-computing environment to provide a level of service, wherein the actual number of workloads includes the desired number of workloads and one or more additional workloads;
• and
• deploy, based on determining the actual number of workloads, the one or more workloads to the one or more nodes of the cloud-computing environment to reach the actual number of workloads of the process executing in the cloud-computing environment, wherein the one or more additional workloads are standby instances of the process agnostic to a configuration.
