Claim 10:
11. A method for computing cluster bring-up, the method comprising:
receiving instructions for configuring a computing cluster within a cloud computing infrastructure, the instructions including a specification of a to-be-configured computing cluster forming a clustered virtualization environment having two or more nodes within the cloud computing infrastructure;
allocating the two or more nodes within the cloud computing infrastructure;
distributing to each of the two or more nodes an instance of a cluster management service, wherein:
each instance of the cluster management service is configured to: receive a cluster specification for bringing up a computing cluster according to the specification of the to-be configured computing cluster, including identities of the allocated nodes that will become member nodes of the to-be-configured cluster; elect an initial leader node from among the member nodes of the to-be-configured cluster; configure the initial leader node to self-manage bring up operations for the to-be-configured cluster; and configure the two or more nodes to self-manage self-assembly into a computing cluster according to the cluster specification.
