METHOD, SYSTEM, AND DEVICE FOR MANAGING SERVER HARDWARE RESOURCES IN A CLOUD SCHEDULING ENVIRONMENT

摘要

A method, system, and device for managing hardware resources in a cloud scheduling environment includes a zone controller. The zone controller can manage groups of node servers in a cloud datacenter using a checkin service. The checkin service allows server groups to be created automatically based on one or more hardware characteristics of the node servers, server health information, workload scheduling or facilities management parameters, and/or other criteria.
