SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR EFFICIENT NETWORK ISOLATION AND LOAD BALANCING IN A MULTI-TENANT CLUSTER ENVIRONMENT

摘要

A system and method for supporting load balancing in a multi-tenant cluster environment, in accordance with an embodiment. One or more tenants can be supported and each associated with a partition, which are each in turn associated with one or more end nodes. The method can provide a plurality of switches, the plurality of switches comprising a plurality of leaf switches and at least one switch at another level, wherein each of the plurality of switches comprise at least one port. The method can assign each node a weight parameter, and based upon this parameter, the method can route the plurality of end nodes within the multi-tenant cluster environment, wherein the routing attempts to preserve partition isolation.

1. A method for supporting load balancing in a multi-tenant cluster environment, comprising:
supporting one or more tenants within the multi-tenant cluster environment; associating each of the one or more tenants with a partition of a plurality of partitions; associating each of the plurality of partitions with one or more nodes of a plurality of nodes, each of the plurality of end nodes comprising a partition key; providing a plurality of switches, the plurality of switches comprising a plurality of leaf switches and at least one switch at another level, wherein each of the plurality of switches comprise at least one port; assigning each node of the plurality of nodes a weight parameter; and based at least upon the assigned weight of each of the plurality of nodes, routing the plurality of nodes within the multi-tenant cluster environment, wherein the routing comprises selecting, for each routed node, at least one down-going port and at least one up-going port on at least one switch; wherein the routing attempts to preserve partition isolation on ports within the multi-tenant cluster environment.
