Abstract
Replicas are selected in a large distributed network, and the roles for these replicas are identified. In one example, the role of voting is assigned to a number of computing clusters. To make this selection, a task assigning service finds a candidate leader and M computing clusters to be used as voters. This selection may be based on finding latencies between the M computing clusters and the leader.
