Disable restart setting for AMF configuration components

A computer system adapted to determine an Availability Management Framework (AMF) configuration of a highly available system, wherein the AMF configuration specifies at least two service-units containing components that represent resources, and a set of service-instances representing workload incurred by provision of services using the resources, the computer system comprising:

• one or more memory devices;
• and
• one or more processors coupled to the one or more memory devices, the one or more processors being operative to:
• identify a failover duration and a restart duration for each component in a service-unit of the at least two service-units;
• determine a failover outage and a restart outage for each service-instance impacted by a failure of a given one of the components, based on the failover duration and the restart duration of each component in the service-unit;
• and
• determine whether to failover or to restart the given component if the given component fails, based on the failover outage and the restart outage of each service-instance impacted by the failure of the given component.
