Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method and apparatus for failover. In an embodiment is provided a method implemented at a first node in a cluster comprising a plurality of heterogeneous nodes. The method comprises: determining whether an application at a second node in the cluster is failed; and in response to determining that the application is failed, causing migration of data and services associated with the application from the second node to a third node in the cluster, the migration involving at least one node heterogeneous to the second node in the cluster. The present disclosure further provides a method implemented at the third node in the cluster and corresponding devices and computer program products.
