Abstract

A computer system configures processing elements within a distributed computing system. A processing element within a distributed computing environment is determined to be affected by a software update, wherein each processing element of the distributed computing system includes a plurality of components and the software update modifies the components of the processing elements. The determined processing element is split into a plurality of processing elements based on a set of factors. The plurality of components of the processing element are assigned among the plurality of processing elements based on components affected by the software update. Embodiments of the present invention further include a method and program product for configuring processing elements within a distributed computing system in substantially the same manner described above.
