US 12,670,036 B2 · Identifying cluster idleness for cluster shutdown

Abstract

A shutdown criterion is determined to be met with respect to a cluster. Responsive to determining that the shutdown criterion is met, a request router is configured to route requests addressed to the cluster to a destination that indicates that the cluster is unavailable. A request to shut down the cluster is transmitted. A request to start the cluster is received. The request is initiated via the destination that indicates that the cluster is unavailable. In response to receiving the request to start the cluster, the cluster is started and the request router is configured to direct, to the cluster, requests addressed to the cluster.
