Abstract
Devices, methods, and systems for shutdown and restart management in a distributed computing environment are described herein. One method includes determining whether a backup of a workload in a distributed computing environment exists, causing a shutdown sequence of the workload to occur at a first predetermined time to shut down the workload, and causing a restart sequence of the workload to occur to restart the workload in the distributed computing environment.
Claims17
A method for shutdown and restart management in a distributed computing environment, comprising:
- determining, by a computing device, whether a backup of a workload in a distributed computing environment exists;
- in response to determining the backup of the workload exists:
- causing, by the computing device, a shutdown sequence of the workload to occur at a first predetermined time to shut down the workload in the distributed computing environment;
- causing, by the computing device at a second predetermined time that is after the first predetermined time, and after the shutdown sequence has been successfully completed, a restart sequence of the workload to occur to restart the workload in the distributed computing environment;
- determining, by the computing device during the shutdown sequence, whether an exemption exists for the workload;
- and
- in response to determining the exemption exists for the workload, initiating halting of the shutdown sequence to refrain from shutting down the workload.
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions executable by a processing resource to cause the processing resource to:
- cause a backup sequence to occur to generate a backup of a workload in a distributed computing environment;
- cause the backup sequence to occur by iterating through resources in the distributed computing environment to list a number of namespaces in the distributed computing environment;
- determine whether the backup of the workload in the distributed computing environment exists;
- cause, in response to determining the backup of the workload exists, a shutdown sequence of the workload to occur at a first predetermined time to shut down the workload in the distributed computing environment;
- and
- cause, at a second predetermined time that is after the first predetermined time and after the shutdown sequence has been successfully completed, a restart sequence of the workload to occur to restart the workload in the distributed computing environment.
A computing device for shutdown and restart management in a distributed computing environment, comprising:
- a processing resource;
- and
- a memory resource storing non-transitory machine-readable instructions to cause the processing resource to:
- cause a backup sequence for a workload in a distributed computing environment to occur to generate a backup of the workload and save the backup to a database;
- determine the backup of the workload exists in the database;
- cause, in response to determining the backup of the workload exists in the database, a shutdown sequence of the workload to occur at a first predetermined time to shut down the workload in the distributed computing environment;
- and
- cause, at a second predetermined time that is after the first predetermined time and after the shutdown sequence has been successfully completed, a restart sequence of the workload to occur to restart the workload in the distributed computing environment;
- determine, during the shutdown sequence, whether an exemption exists for the workload;
- and
- in response to determining the exemption exists for the workload, initiate stopping the shutdown sequence to refrain from shutting down the workload.
