Abstract

In large distributed computing environments, application execution may be distributed between a plurality of groups, the plurality of groups containing a set of host computer systems responsible for the execution of one or more operations of the application. Group membership may be determined by generating configuration information based at least in part on the plurality of groups. The configuration information may be provided to a plurality of host computer systems and each host computer system of the plurality of host computer systems may determine membership to a particular group of the plurality of groups based at least in part on the configuration information.
