Claim 16:
17. A system for hibernating a computing cluster, the system comprising:
a non-transitory storage medium having stored thereon a sequence of instructions; and
a processor that executes the sequence of instructions to cause the processor to perform acts comprising,
receiving an instruction to hibernate a computing cluster by saving data for a hypervisor into a storage infrastructure using a service, the data pertaining to a state of a node of the computing cluster comprising multiple nodes, wherein
the service, the multiple nodes, and the storage infrastructure are respectively located at a higher, an intermediate, and a lower tier in a computing environment; and

invoking the service for information lifecycle management (ILM) that utilizes a datapath between the service and the storage infrastructure to move the data from the hypervisor to a different location via the datapath for hibernating the computing cluster, wherein
the service also uses the datapath to monitor an architectural or operational characteristic pertaining to at least the storage infrastructure for managing information lifecycle of the computing cluster.
