Abstract
Embodiments are directed to communicating between computing nodes in a cluster of nodes. In one scenario, a computer system receives a data packet from a worker node including the worker node's current workload identifiers and health status, where the data packet includes an associated version number. The computer system determines that the version number in the received data packet is different than a previously received data packet and evaluates the worker node's current workload configuration to determine whether workload changes are to be made on the worker node. Then, upon determining that workload changes are to be made on the worker node, the computer system selects a subset of workload changes to apply to the worker node, generates an indication of the selected subset of workload changes to the worker node and sends the generated indication of workload changes to the worker node.
