Abstract
A method and apparatus for providing high availability to service groups within a datacenter is described. In one embodiment, the method includes accessing policy master information regarding a plurality of nodes to identify at least one suitable node of the plurality of nodes for operating a service group, generating network topology information to identify at least one single point of failure amongst the plurality of nodes, processing high availability information regarding at least one computer resource at the at least one suitable node and determining availability indicia of the service group based upon the network topology information and the high availability information.
