Management and orchestration of microservices

A non-transitory machine readable medium comprising instructions, which when executed by a machine, causes the machine to:

• implement, by a scheduler infrastructure service, a policy specifying when and how to perform jobs, wherein the scheduler infrastructure service generates a job request message based upon the policy specifying how to perform a job to maintain redundant instances of a service for failover;
• generate, by a workflow engine scheduler infrastructure service, a job definition of tasks to execute through a workflow for performing the job according to the policy;
• and
• execute the workflow according to the policy by:
• retrieving a container image from a container repository based upon the container image corresponding to the service;
• creating a cluster and a redundant cluster within a computing environment based upon the policy;
• deploying the service within the cluster and a redundant instance of the service within the redundant cluster as resources of the computing environment;
• and
• in response to detecting a failure of the cluster, implementing, by the scheduler, the policy to redirect job request messages from targeting the cluster to targeting the redundant cluster for execution by the redundant instance of the service.

A computing device comprising:

• a memory comprising machine executable code;
• and
• a processor coupled to the memory, the processor configured to execute the machine executable code to cause the computing device to implement:
• a message broker:
• bypassing communication restrictions implemented by a computing environment to restrict communication between a client device and a service agent, wherein the message broker receives a message from the client device for deploying a cluster;
• and
• routing the message to the service agent hosted as a container within the computing environment;
• and
• the service agent executing the message by:
• retrieving a chart package selected from a chart repository of chart packages based on a set of services to host within the cluster and dependencies amongst the set of services;
• retrieving a set of container images from a container repository based upon the set of container images corresponding to the set of services;
• creating the cluster within the computing environment;
• and
• deploying the set of services as resources of the computing environment within the cluster and configuring the dependencies using the chart package and the set of container images.
