Abstract

A computer program product is provided for extending network services addresses. The computer program product comprises a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a processor to cause the processor to identify a network event affecting a node of a sub-cluster of nodes of a network, wherein the node provides external access to the network using an Internet Protocol (IP) address. The program instructions are also executable by the processor to cause the processor to, in response to identifying the network event, identify an attribute associated with the IP address of the node. Finally, the program instructions are executable by the processor to cause the processor to, based on the attribute associated with the IP address of the node, determine whether to move the IP address of the node to another node of the sub-cluster.
