Abstract

Embodiments offer a cloud system allowing workload management through the use of a zone-compartment architecture. A routing engine extracts an identifier from an incoming request to a cloud system. The routing engine then determines from a mapping in a service mesh, a target compartment corresponding to the identifier. Based upon the target compartment, the routing engine receives an IP address from a registry of the service mesh. Using the IP address, the routing engine routes the request to the target compartment for processing by an application. A database of the target compartment is replicated within another compartment within a different zone, thereby ensuring high availability. Based upon a recommendation provided by the zone, the target compartment may be split or merged to accommodate variations in workflow. The mapping and registry are updated according to changes in the compartments.
