Abstract

In an approach for election of a manger for a network, a processor detects that a first set of management tasks is not running. A processor identifies at least a first node in a network and information about the first node. A processor determines that the first node is capable of performing the first set of management tasks based on the information about the first node. A processor elects the first node as a manager in the network to perform the first set of management tasks.
