A method for managing user requests in a distributed computing environment following a capacity change of a cluster including one or more virtual machine instances forming a component of a virtualised function in which at least one of the VM instances before the capacity change includes internal state information relating to a pre-capacity-change user request for the component, the method comprising using a controller to re-route post-capacity-change user requests referencing, implicitly or explicitly, the internal state information using matching rules mapping the or each pre-capacity-change VM instance with one or more post-capacity-change VM instance. |
