Primary node election with cloud intent flexibility

A method comprising:

• an information handling system performing a first primary node election among a plurality of nodes of an information handling system cluster to determine a first primary node, wherein the first primary node election is based on a multi-cloud election algorithm;
• the information handling system determining a cloud intent associated with the plurality of nodes;
• the information handling system causing the first primary node to install a cloud-specific election component to the information handling system cluster;
• the information handling system causing the cloud-specific election component to perform a second primary node election among the plurality of nodes to determine a second primary node, wherein the second primary node election is based on a cloud-specific election algorithm based on the determined cloud intent;
• and
• the information handling system causing the second primary node to act as a primary node of the cluster of information handling systems.

An article of manufacture comprising a non-transitory, computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions thereon that are executable by an information handling system for:

• performing a first primary node election among a plurality of nodes of an information handling system cluster to determine a first primary node, wherein the first primary node election is based on a multi-cloud election algorithm;
• determining a cloud intent associated with the plurality of nodes;
• causing the first primary node to install a cloud-specific election component to the information handling system cluster;
• causing the cloud-specific election component to perform a second primary node election among the plurality of nodes to determine a second primary node, wherein the second primary node election is based on a cloud-specific election algorithm based on the determined cloud intent;
• and
• causing the second primary node to act as a primary node of the cluster of information handling systems.
