Abstract
Described herein are systems, methods, and software to improve distribution of service information in a computing environment. In one implementation, a computing element identifies a modification to a locally maintained service data structure that maintains status information for services of a computing environment. In response to the modification, the computing element may identify a key-value pair and add the key-value pair to a gateway protocol packet. Once added to the packet, the computing element may communicate the packet to a second computing element.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- in a first computing element, identifying a modification to a service data structure maintained by the first computing element, wherein the service data structure comprises service status information for a computing environment;
- in the first computing element and in response to the modification, determining a key-value pair associated with the modification;
- in the first computing element, generating a gateway protocol packet containing the key-value pair;
- and
- in the first computing element, communicating the gateway protocol packet to a second computing element associated with the modification.
A computing element comprising:
- one or more non-transitory computer readable storage media;
- a processing system operatively couple to the one or more non-transitory computer readable storage media;
- and
- program instructions stored on the one or more non-transitory computer readable storage media that, when read and executed by the processing system, direct the processing system to at least:
- identify a modification to a service data structure maintained by the computing element, wherein the service data structure comprises service status information for a computing environment;
- determine a key-value pair associated with the modification;
- generate a gateway protocol packet containing the key-value pair;
- and
- communicate the gateway protocol packet to a second computing element associated with the modification.
An apparatus comprising:
- one or more non-transitory computer readable storage media;
- and
- program instructions stored on the one or more non-transitory computer readable storage media that, when read and executed by a processing system, direct the processing system to at least:
- identify a modification to a service data structure maintained by the computing element, wherein the service data structure comprises service status information for a computing environment;
- determine a key-value pair associated with the modification;
- generate a gateway protocol packet containing the key-value pair;
- and
- communicate the gateway protocol packet to a second computing element associated with the modification.
