Abstract

The subject technology determines, after a period of time elapses over a periodic segment of time, an imbalance of cluster instances deployed in multiple zones based on a threshold value, the cluster instances including different types of clusters associated with compute service manager instances. The subject technology identifies a particular type of cluster instance to include in a particular zone from the multiple zones. The subject technology adds the particular type of cluster instance to the particular zone to meet a global balancing of cluster instances in the multiple zones. The subject technology determines, after a second period of time elapses over the periodic segment of time, that a number of cluster instances deployed in the multiple zones is below the threshold value indicating a current balance of cluster instances in the multiple zones.
