Claim 8:
9. A device for deploying workloads on nodes in a cloud-computing environment, comprising:
a memory storing one or more parameters or instructions for deploying workloads in the cloud-computing environment; and
at least one processor coupled to the memory, wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
execute multiple workloads in a cloud-computing environment cluster, wherein each workload of the multiple workloads corresponds to a separate instance of a process that is executed according to a separate configuration;
execute a standby workload as a second instance of the process without at least a portion of the separate configuration used by the multiple workloads; and
based on detecting termination of one of the multiple workloads, configure the standby workload to execute based on the separate configuration of the separate instance of the process corresponding to the one of the multiple workloads,
wherein the process corresponds to a remote unit (RU) process in a mobile edge computing environment, and the multiple workloads are each for a different configuration of the RU process, and the standby workload is the second instance of the RU process without at least the portion of the separate configuration.
