Abstract
A system for performing distributed computing. The system comprises a plurality of compute node resources for performing computations for the distributed computing, a management resource for managing each of the compute node resources in the plurality, and a virtual cloud network. The management resource and the plurality of compute node resources are interconnected via the virtual cloud network.
Claims17
A system for performing distributed computing comprising:
- a plurality of compute node resources each comprising one or more application containers executed by a computing device for performing computations for the distributed computing, wherein the application containers are configured as self-contained applications comprising all dependencies required for execution and operation of the application containers;
- a management resource for managing each of the compute node resources in the plurality, wherein the management resource comprises a node tracker for tracking metrics associated with each of the computing devices of the compute node resources;
- and
- a virtual cloud network;
- wherein the management resource and the plurality of compute node resources are interconnected via the virtual cloud network.
