Communication network failure detection and restoration

A method, comprising:

• processing, by a processor, a first notification received from a first network node to determine a first status of the first network node;
• processing a second notification received from a second network node to determine a second status of the second network node;
• and
• in response to determining the first status and the second status indicate an alarm state, causing a workload assigned to a first data center associated with the first network node and the second network node to be reassigned to a second data center different from the first data center.

A non-transitory computer readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processor, cause an apparatus to:

• process a first notification received from a first network node to determine a first status of the first network node;
• process a second notification received from a second network node to determine a second status of the second network node;
• and
• in response to determining the first status and the second status indicate an alarm state, cause a workload assigned to a first data center associated with the first network node and the second network node to be reassigned to a second data center different from the first data center.
