Disclosed embodiments provide techniques for automatic interdependency resolution for micro-service deployments. A micro-service deployment broker executing on a computing device obtains current environment and feature support of a deployed distributed computing environment. The micro-service deployment broker determines environment and feature requirements for a requested deployment, and compares that with the current environment and feature support of the deployed distributed computing environment. Based on the comparison, a deployment command is issued indicating the deployment plan for the requested deployment. In cases where deployment is not possible or only a partial deployment is possible, an indication is sent to an operator to indicate that full deployment did not occur.

Automatic interdependency resolution for micro-service deployments

Improved and more efficient techniques are described for reducing the amount of work that needs to be performed by a database in a computer network in order to distribute event summary data to a large number of administrator clients. Delays experienced by event data at a database, e.g., due to delays in accessing a database, are reduced so that client can be notified of the events as soon as possible. Furthermore, event data obtained from both local and remote networks is efficiently coordinated using replica and union processes. Each monitoring location in the network includes both locally generated events, and a copy of remotely-generated events which are provided and maintained by one or more remote monitoring locations. The monitoring locations update one another with their event data.
