Abstract

Methods, computer program products, and/or systems are provided that perform the following operations: identifying a first workload being processed by a first plurality of sites in a cluster; identifying, from the first plurality of sites: (i) a first site as a primary site for the first workload, and (ii) one or more secondary sites for the first workload; identifying a communication link issue between the first site and at least one of the one or more secondary sites; splitting the cluster into sub-clusters based, at least in part, on the communication link issue, wherein the first site is included in a first sub-cluster of the sub-clusters and the at least one of the one or more secondary sites is included in a sub-cluster of the sub-clusters that is different from the first sub-cluster; and instructing the first sub-cluster to locally process the first workload.
