Maximizing and un-maximizing traffic-driven compute resources for deployments in a region

A system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• a memory storing instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to:
• isolate a first region and a second region in a compute environment, the first region comprising a first set of compute resources and the second region comprising a second set of compute resources;
• identify, based on runtime metadata, a minimum value, representing a minimum capacity, of the second set of compute resources and a maximum value, representing a maximum capacity, of the second set of compute resources in the second region, where the second set of compute resources currently accept traffic at any value between the minimum and maximum value;
• store the minimum value as temporary runtime metadata in the second set of compute resources;
• maximize the second set of compute resources by updating the minimum value to the maximum value;
• switch traffic, in response to a failover event of the first set of compute resources, from the first set of compute resources in the first region to the second set of compute resources in the second region;
• un-maximize, after waiting a first time period, the second set of compute resources by setting the minimum value to its original value based on the temporary runtime metadata;
• and
• clear the temporary runtime metadata from the second set of compute resources.

A non-transient computer-readable storage medium having instructions embodied thereon, the instructions being executable by one or more processors to perform a method and cause the one or more processors to:

• in response to a failover event of one or more compute resources in a first region, identify one or more compute resources in a target region;
• identify whether a maximize or an un-maximize action is specified for the one or more compute resources in the target region;
• based on the maximize action being specified, switching traffic from the first region to the target region, the switching configured to:
• obtain a minimum value, representing a minimum capacity, and a maximum value, representing a maximum capacity, from autoscaling configurations, where the one or more compute resources in the target region currently accept traffic at any value between the minimum and maximum value;
• save the minimum value as a label in the one or more compute resources;
• and
• set the minimum value to match the maximum value;
• and
• based on the un-maximize action being specified, performing un-maximizing of the one or more compute resources in the target region, the un-maximizing configured to:
• retrieve the minimum value from the label stored in the one or more compute resources in the target region;
• set the minimum value to an original minimum based on the retrieved label;
• and
• clear the label.
