Abstract
Embodiments described herein provide for an election procedure, in a high availability ('HA') environment, for a backup controller to assume operations performed by a master controller in the event that the master controller becomes unreachable. The master controller may be associated with (e.g., provisioned on) the same set of hardware as one or more worker nodes, and may control operation of the one or more worker nodes. The election procedure may be performed based on performance metrics, location, or efficiency metrics associated with candidate backup controllers (e.g., cloud-based backup controllers), including performance of communications between particular backup controllers and the one or more worker nodes.
