Abstract
Embodiments for scaling services in a distributed network by registering bucket names for the services with a Domain Name Service (DNS) server. Buckets hold resources and distribution of buckets to servers is maintained using a Consistent Hashing Ring. Upon determining that services servers need to be added or deleted based on changes load conditions, leave/join events are managed by a Kubernetes event service and updates are propagated to all of the services by the membership service component. A service scaling process updates the mapping of buckets to the host name of the new service server. A resource request from a client is sent to the mapped bucket name, and a DNS resolver process sends it to the changed service server so that the client is completely unaware of this change in bucket ownership.
