A computer-implemented method comprises detecting, by a processor of a first host of one or more hosts in a distributed computing environment, a distributed task waiting to be started, from a replicated configuration system, the distributed task being represented by a pending tasks key. The method comprises starting, by the processor, the distributed task by performing an atomic compare and swap operation to add a started key to the replicated configuration system. The method also comprises writing a specification of the distributed task to the replicated configuration system under a new version of a current tasks key. In addition, the method comprises removing, following the writing, the pending tasks key from the replicated configuration system.

Fault-tolerant and highly available configuration of distributed services

Fault-tolerant and highly available configuration of distributed services including a computer-implemented method for role-based configuration discovery comprising receiving a request comprising an identifier of a role; identifying a first key, in a replica of a distributed configuration store, comprising a first value that matches the role identifier; identifying one or more other key-value pairs associated in the replica with the first key; and returning a response to an entity that sent the request comprising the value of at least one key-value pair that is specific to the role the service has. Also disclosed are techniques for log forwarding.
