Abstract

A cloud management server and method for performing automatic placement of clients in a distributed computer system uses a list of compatible clusters to select an affinity cluster to place the clients associated with an affinity constraint. As part of the placement method, a cluster that cannot satisfy any anti-affinity constraint associated with the clients and the affinity constrain is removed from the list of compatible clusters. After the affinity cluster has been selected, at least one cluster in the distributed computer system is also selected to place clients associated with an anti-affinity constraint.
