TECHNIQUES TO ISOLATING A PORTION OF AN ONLINE COMPUTING SERVICE

摘要

Techniques to isolating a portion of an online computing service are described. The following description may refer to the isolated portion as a deployment unit configured with a complete build of the online computing service. In one embodiment, after applying one or more changes to the complete build, the deployment unit may be used for testing these changes using end-to-end tests. In another embodiment, the deployment unit may be dedicated to a specific group of tenants that require at least some isolation from other tenants. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

1. An apparatus, comprising:
a processor; a set of memory units; and a management application operative on the processor, the management application to comprise a deployment component arranged to partition a resource capacity into deployment units each having computing roles corresponding to execution of an online computing service to handle production traffic, migrate a deployment unit from a production endpoint into another endpoint, modify one or more computing roles associated with the deployment unit to generate a modified deployment unit on the other endpoint, and to utilize the modified deployment unit for at least a portion of the production traffic.
