Cluster capacity management for hyper converged infrastructure updates

A method comprising:

• invoking, by the datacenter level workload, an enter cluster maintenance mode component of the datacenter level resource scheduler using a parameter that identifies a particular cluster of a plurality of clusters of a datacenter;
• receiving by the datacenter level workload from a datacenter level resource scheduler, an add host command that causes the datacenter level workload to add a host for a host level update;
• performing, by the datacenter level workload, a host level update on a plurality of hosts corresponding to the particular cluster;
• invoking, by the datacenter level workload, an exit cluster maintenance mode component of the datacenter level resource scheduler using a parameter that identifies the particular cluster;
• and
• implementing, by the datacenter level workload, a cluster scaling decision comprising one of:
• a scale out decision to increase a total number of hosts in the specified cluster, or a cluster ready decision.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising machine readable instructions, wherein the instructions, when executed by at least one processor, cause at least one computing device to at least:

• invoke, by the datacenter level workload, an enter cluster maintenance mode component of the datacenter level resource scheduler using a parameter that identifies a particular cluster of a plurality of clusters of a datacenter;
• receive, by the datacenter level workload from a datacenter level resource scheduler, an add host command that causes the datacenter level workload to add a host for a host level update;
• perform, by the datacenter level workload, a host level update on a plurality of hosts corresponding to the particular cluster;
• invoke, by the datacenter level workload, an exit cluster maintenance mode component of the datacenter level resource scheduler using a parameter that identifies the particular cluster;
• and
• implement, by the datacenter level workload, a cluster scaling decision comprising one of:
• a scale out decision to increase a total number of hosts in the specified cluster, or a cluster ready decision.
