Abstract
This disclosure describes techniques for providing virtual resources (e.g., containers, virtual machines, etc.) of a clustered application with information regarding a cluster of physical servers on which the distributed clustered application is running. A virtual resource that supports the clustered application is executed on a physical server of the cluster of physical servers. The virtual resource may receive an indication of a database instance (or other application) running on a particular physical server of the cluster of physical servers that is nearest the physical server. The database instance may be included in a group of database instances that are maintaining a common data set on respective physical servers of the group of physical servers. The virtual resource may then access the database instance on the particular physical server based at least in part on the database instance running on the particular server that is nearest the physical server.
