Abstract
Placement scenario optimization mechanisms for automatic placement of computing entities onto nodes of a running multi-node computing cluster. A set of failure mode parameters define a high-availability requirement of the multi-node computing cluster. In advance of a failure event, and responsive to a determination that a then-current computing entity placement does not satisfy the high-availability requirement, the cluster is analyzed and a plurality of feasible placement scenarios are generated. Optimization criteria are applied to the feasible placement scenarios such that a best choice from among the feasible placement scenarios is identified and applied to the virtual machine placements over the cluster. A change monitoring and detection facility continually observes the multi-node computing cluster to detect a change of a failure mode parameter or to detect a change to the configuration of the virtual machines. Certain of such changes cause feasible placement scenarios to be generated, evaluated, selected, and applied.
