Abstract
Systems and methods for an improved High-Availability (HA) resource reservation approach are provided. According to one embodiment, for a given cluster of greater than two nodes in which a number (f) of concurrent node failures are to be tolerated, more efficient utilization of resources for an HA system may be achieved by distributing HA reserved capacity across more than f nodes of the cluster rather than naively concentrating the HA reserved capacity in f nodes. As node failures are not a common occurrence, those of the nodes of the cluster having HA reserved capacity may allow for some bursting of one or more units of compute executing thereon unless or until f concurrent node failures occur, thereby promoting more efficient utilization of node resources.
