Abstract
The disclosed computer-implemented method for performing data replication in distributed cluster environments may include (1) identifying a distributed cluster environment that includes (A) a plurality of compute nodes that execute a plurality of virtual machines and (B) a data node that stores data that has been replicated from storage devices used by the virtual machines, (2) determining, at the data node, storage-utilization totals for the virtual machines that represent amounts of storage space on the storage devices used by the virtual machines, (3) identifying, based at least in part on the storage-utilization totals, a virtual machine whose storage-utilization total is highest among the plurality of virtual machines, (4) prioritizing the virtual machine and then in response to the prioritization, (5) directing the compute node to initiate a data replication process with the data node in connection with the virtual machine. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
