Microservice deployment in distributed computing environments

A computer program product comprising a computer-readable storage medium having computer-readable program code embodied therewith, said computer-readable program code configured to implement a method, the method comprising:

• receiving microservice constraints descriptive of a microservice computing task by a microservice deployment scheduler, wherein the microservice deployment scheduler further includes a rule based dynamic workload orchestration module configured to orchestrate operation of the one or more computing nodes using a predetermined set of rules associated with the microservice constraints and node specific properties;
• receiving the node specific properties from one or more computing nodes by the microservice deployment scheduler, wherein the node specific properties are descriptive of a computing capacity and computing capabilities of the one or more computing nodes;
• orchestrating operation of the one or more computing nodes by the microservice deployment scheduler by inputting the microservice constraints and the node specific properties into a reinforcement learning based dynamic workload orchestration module and by inputting the microservice constraints and the node specific properties into the rule based dynamic workload orchestration module;
• and
• orchestration of the one or more computing nodes using the reinforcement learning based dynamic workload orchestration module is performed if the predetermined set of rules is not associated with the microservice constraints and the node specific properties.

A computer system comprising:

• a processor configured for controlling said computer system;
• and
• a memory storing machine executable instructions and a microservice deployment scheduler, the microservice deployment scheduler comprising a reinforcement learning based dynamic workload orchestration module, wherein execution of said instructions causes said processor to:
• receive microservice constraints descriptive of a microservice computing task by the microservice deployment scheduler, wherein the microservice deployment scheduler further comprises a rule based dynamic workload orchestration module configured for orchestrating operation of one or more computing nodes using a predetermined set of rules associated with the microservice constraints and node specific properties;
• receive the node specific properties from one or more computing nodes by the microservice deployment scheduler, wherein the node specific properties are descriptive of computing capacity and computing capabilities of the one or more computing nodes;
• and
• orchestrate operation of the one or more computing nodes by the microservice deployment scheduler by inputting the microservice constraints and the node specific properties into the reinforcement learning based dynamic workload orchestration module and by inputting the microservice constraints and the node specific properties into the rule based dynamic workload orchestration module;
• and
• orchestration of the one or more computing nodes using the reinforcement learning based dynamic workload orchestration module is performed by said processor if the predetermined set of rules is not associated with the microservice constraints and the node specific properties.
