Abstract
An embodiment may involve server devices arranged into pods, each server device hosting computational instances, and a central computational instance configured to: (i) obtain per-pod lists of the instances hosted by the pods; (ii) determine a maximum number of the instances to arrange into batches; (iii) determine a group size for groups of the instances that are to be placed into the batches; (iv) execute a first phase that involves removing per-pod groups from the per-pod lists and adding them to the batches, until less of the instances than the group size remains in each of the per-pod lists; (v) execute a second phase that involves removing one of the instances from the per-pod lists and adding it to the batches, until none of the instances remains in any of the per-pod lists; and (vi) schedule one or more of the automations to take place in the data center.
