Operating a sleep management service

摘要

The claimed subject matter provides a method for operating a sleep management service. The method include identifying a set of guardians based on a local state for each of a plurality of compute nodes. The method also includes sending a wake request to all sleeping compute nodes in the identified set. The method further includes sending a request to become a guardian to all compute nodes in the identified set. Additionally, the method includes stopping a current guardian from being a guardian if the current guardian is less suitable than a threshold number of current guardians.

1. A method for operating a sleep management service, comprising:
identifying a set of guardians based on a local state for each of a plurality of compute nodes in a subnet; sending a wake request to all sleeping compute nodes in the identified set; sending a request to become a guardian to all compute nodes in the identified set; and stopping a current guardian from being a guardian if the current guardian is less suitable regarding capability than a threshold number of current guardians; managing a sleeping compute node on the subnet; adding a custom route to a manager of the sleeping compute node; directing traffic destined for the sleeping compute node to a gateway router using the custom route; and receiving traffic sent from the manager to the sleeping compute node at the manager.
