Abstract
A distributed computing system. The system separates management and worker functionality into different clusters thus relieving the worker clusters of management overhead. In particular, the system includes a management cluster. The management cluster is configured to perform service deployment of worker nodes, service maintenance of worker nodes, service upgrade and roll-back of worker nodes, service monitoring of worker nodes, and service reporting of worker nodes. The system further includes one or more worker clusters coupled the management cluster, but separate from the management cluster. Each of the worker clusters includes one or more worker nodes that are configured to provide one or more of processing power, storage, and network connectivity but do not exercise one or more of the management configured functions.
