Abstract

System, methods, and apparatuses used to monitor network traffic of a datacenter and report security threats are described. For example, one embodiment selects a first microservice of a first hierarchy, configures the microservices of a second lower-level hierarchy to remove the first microservice from load balancing decisions to the first hierarchy, moves the first microservice to another server, configures data plane connectivity to the first microservice to reflect a change in server, and configures the microservices of the second hierarchy to include the first microservice in load balancing decisions to the first hierarchy.
