Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for facilitating coordination between a fabric controller of a cloud-computing network and a service application running in the cloud-computing network are provided. Initially, an update domain (UD) that includes role instance(s) of the service application is selected, where the service application represents a stateful application is targeted for receiving a tenant job executed thereon. The process of coordination involves preparing the UD for execution of the tenant job, disabling the role instance(s) of the UD to an offline condition, allowing the tenant job to execute, and restoring the role instance(s) to an online condition upon completing execution of the tenant job. Preparing the UD includes notifying a management role established within the service application of the fabric controller's intent to execute the tenant job and receiving a management-role response communicating a presence of replications of internal state(s) of the role instance(s) affected by the tenant job.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. One or more computer-readable hardware memory having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon that, when executed, perform a method for facilitating interaction between a fabric controller of a cloud-computing network and a service application running in the cloud-computing network, the method comprising: selecting a first update domain (UD) that includes one or more role instances of the service application, wherein the one or more role instances a…
