Push signaling to run jobs on available servers

A system that is arranged for managing a job over a network, comprising:

• A job control node comprising:
• a transceiver that is operative to communicate over the network;
• a memory that is operative to store at least instructions;
• and
• a processor device that is operative to execute instructions that enable actions, including:
• providing at least one job instruction to a job control node;
• communicating a heartbeat message between at least the job control node and at least one of a plurality managed nodes;
• determining at least one of the plurality of managed nodes that is available to be managed as a job target node based on the at least one job instruction and the heartbeat message;
• providing the at least one job instruction to each of the available job target nodes;
• determining at least one job target node that is prepared to execute the at least one job instruction based on at least an acknowledgement provided by each of the prepared job target nodes;
• executing the at least one job instruction on each of the prepared job target nodes;
• and
• if the at least one job instruction is finished executing on each of the prepared job target nodes, record a job status for each of the prepared job target nodes, wherein a status for the at least one job instruction is updated;
• and
• a job target node, comprising:
• a transceiver that is operative to communicate over the network;
• a memory that is operative to store at least instructions;
• and
• a processor device that is operative to execute instructions that enable actions, including:
• communicating a heartbeat message to the at least the job control node;
• and
• executing the at least one job instruction.

A processor readable non-transitive storage media that includes instructions for managing a job over a network, wherein execution of the instructions by a processor device enables actions, comprising:

• providing at least one job instruction to a job control node;
• communicating a heartbeat message between at least the job control node and at least one of a plurality managed nodes;
• determining at least one of the plurality of managed nodes that is available to be managed as a job target node based on the at least one job instruction and the heartbeat message;
• providing the at least one job instruction to each of the available job target nodes;
• determining at least one job target node that is prepared to execute the at least one job instruction based on at least an acknowledgement provided by each of the prepared job target nodes;
• executing the at least one job instruction on each of the prepared job target nodes;
• and
• if the at least one job instruction is finished executing on each of the prepared job target nodes, record a job status for each of the prepared job target nodes, wherein a status for the at least one job instruction is updated.

A network device that is operative for managing a job over a network, comprising:

• a transceiver that is operative to communicate over a network;
• a memory that is operative to store at least instructions;
• and
• a processor device that is operative to execute instructions that enable actions, including:
• providing at least one job instruction to a job control node;
• enabling a heartbeat message to be communicated between at least the job control node and at least one of a plurality managed nodes;
• determining at least one of the plurality of managed nodes that is available to be managed as a job target node based on the at least one job instruction and the heartbeat message;
• providing the at least one job instruction to each of the available job target nodes;
• determining at least one job target node that is prepared to execute the at least one job instruction based on at least an acknowledgement provided by each of the prepared job target nodes;
• executing the at least one job instruction on each of the prepared job target nodes;
• and
• if the at least one job instruction is finished executing on each of the prepared job target nodes, record a job status for each of the prepared job target nodes, wherein a status for the at least one job instruction is updated.
