Deployment of services across clusters of nodes

A service manager comprising:

• at least one processor;
• at least one memory on which is stored machine readable instructions that are to cause the at least one processor to:
• receive a request to deploy a tenant service;
• determine an allocated node for the tenant service from a pool of nodes that spans across multiple clusters of nodes, wherein a separate container manager manages the nodes in a respective cluster of nodes;
• and
• send an instruction to the container manager that manages the allocated node to drive the allocated node to host the tenant service.

A method comprising:

• receiving, by at least one processor, a request to deploy a first tenant service and a second tenant service;
• determining, by the at least one processor, a first allocated node for the first tenant service and a second allocated node for the second tenant service from a pool of nodes that spans across multiple clusters of nodes, wherein a separate container manager manages the nodes in a respective cluster of nodes;
• sending, by the at least one processor, an instruction to a first container manager that manages the first allocated node to drive the first allocated node to deploy the first tenant service;
• and
• sending, by the at least one processor, an instruction to a second container manager that manages the second allocated node to drive the second allocated node to deploy the second tenant service.
