Abstract
A method may include transmitting, by a proxy node within a subnet, one or more messages to a cluster creation service to register a plurality of nodes within the subnet with the cluster creation service, receiving, at the proxy node, from the cluster creation service, a cluster creation request identifying a group of nodes of the plurality of nodes to form a cluster, and transmitting, by the proxy node, the cluster creation request to one or more of the group of nodes.
Claims25
A method comprising:
- transmitting, by a proxy node within a subnet, one or more messages to a centralized cluster creation service external to a data center containing the subnet to register a plurality of nodes within the subnet with the cluster creation service;
- receiving, at the proxy node, from the cluster creation service, a cluster creation request identifying a group of nodes of the plurality of nodes to form a cluster;
- and
- transmitting, by the proxy node, the cluster creation request to one or more of the group of nodes.
An apparatus comprising one or more processors and non-transitory, computer-readable media comprising instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
- transmit one or more messages to a centralized cluster creation service external to a data center containing the subnet to register a plurality of nodes within a subnet with the cluster creation service;
- receive, from the cluster creation service, a cluster creation request identifying a group of nodes of the plurality of nodes to form a cluster;
- and
- transmit the cluster creation request to one or more of the group of nodes.
A system comprising a plurality of nodes within a subnet, the plurality of nodes including a proxy node which executes non-transitory, computer-readable instructions to:
- transmit one or more messages to a centralized cluster creation service external to a data center containing the subnet to register a plurality of nodes within a subnet with the cluster creation service;
- receive, from the cluster creation service, a cluster creation request identifying a group of nodes of the plurality of nodes to form a cluster;
- and
- transmit the cluster creation request to one or more of the group of nodes.
