One or more non-transitory machine-readable storage mediums storing program instructions for operating a first cluster of servers. The program instructions are configured to be executable by one or more processors of the first cluster of servers to perform various operations. The operations may include storing a user interface of a cloud service consumer and receiving, from a user, a request to access services of the cloud service consumer. The operations may further include retrieving, from a second cluster of servers maintained by the cloud service consumer, user data required in response to the request and providing the user interface and the user data to the user.

Highly available private cloud service

A first cluster of servers maintains a shared database that stores, for each of a plurality of cloud service consumers, user interface data for the cloud service consumer, wherein each server in the first cluster can read and write to the shared database. The first cluster further receives, from a customer computer, a request to access services of an identified cloud service consumer among the plurality of cloud service consumers, wherein the customer computer is associated with a customer of the identified cloud service consumer. Still further, the first cluster retrieves the user interface data of the identified cloud service consumer from the shared database; retrieves, from a second cluster of servers maintained by the identified cloud service consumer, user data required in response to the request; and provides the user interface data of the identified cloud service consumer and the user data to the customer computer.

Approaches for automated provisioning of a private cloud infrastructure. A cloud service provider maintains a first cluster of servers which stores a set of user interfaces. Each first cluster node comprises a first distributed management layer that manages, monitors, and self-heals first cluster nodes and facilitates communication with nodes of a second cluster of servers. A cloud service consumer maintains the second cluster which stores sets of user data. Second cluster nodes comprise a second distributed management layer that manages, monitors, and self-heals second cluster nodes and facilitates communication with first cluster nodes. When a first node in the first cluster receives a request from an end-user of a cloud-based service, the first node (a) communicates with the second distributed management layer to obtain a required set of user data and (b) prepares and transmits, to the end-user, a response that comprises the appropriate user interface and required user data.
