Unjoining and rejoining clusters in computing networks

A system, comprising:

• one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media including instructions;
• and
• one or more processors coupled to the storage media, the one or more processors configured to execute the instructions to:
• access a cluster of computing nodes of one or more clusters of computing nodes executing on an edge site computing network, wherein the cluster of computing nodes comprises a plurality of follower computing nodes and at least one leader computing node;
• detect an interruption to connectivity established between the at least one leader computing node and one or more of the plurality of follower computing nodes;
• in response to detecting the interruption to connectivity established between the at least one leader computing node and one or more of the plurality of follower computing nodes within a same cluster, and while connectivity is established between the one or more of the plurality of follower computing nodes and one or more other computing nodes of the plurality of follower nodes within the same cluster, bifurcate the cluster of computing nodes into a first subcluster of computing nodes and a second subcluster of computing nodes;
• and
• in response to detecting a restoration of connectivity with respect to one or more computing nodes associated with the first subcluster of computing nodes and the second subcluster of computing nodes, recombining the first subcluster of computing nodes and the second subcluster of computing nodes.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a computing system, cause the one or more processors to:

• access a cluster of computing nodes of one or more clusters of computing nodes executing on an edge site computing network, wherein the cluster of computing nodes comprises a plurality of follower computing nodes and at least one leader computing node;
• detect an interruption to connectivity established between the at least one leader computing node and one or more of the plurality of follower computing nodes;
• in response to detecting the interruption to connectivity established between the at least one leader computing node and one or more of the plurality of follower computing nodes within a same cluster, and while connectivity is established between the one or more of the plurality of follower computing nodes and one or more other computing nodes of the plurality of follower nodes within the same cluster, bifurcate the cluster of computing nodes into a first subcluster of computing nodes and a second subcluster of computing nodes;
• and
• in response to detecting a restoration of connectivity with respect to one or more computing nodes associated with the first subcluster of computing nodes and the second subcluster of computing nodes, recombining the first subcluster of computing nodes and the second subcluster of computing nodes.
