Abstract
In a first exemplary media implementation, one or more processor-accessible media include processor-executable instructions that, when executed, direct a system to perform actions that include: accumulating host status information at multiple hosts; and sending the accumulated host status information from the multiple hosts. In a second exemplary media implementation, one or more processor-accessible media include processor-executable instructions that, when executed, direct a system to perform actions that include: receiving host status information from multiple hosts; and making load balancing decisions responsive to the received host status information. In a third exemplary media implementation, one or more processor-accessible media include processor-executable instructions that, when executed, direct a system to perform actions that include: determining health and load information on a per application basis; and selecting an application from among multiple applications responsive to the health and load information.
