Claim 6:
7. The method of claim 6, wherein the group of candidate nodes comprises the first available candidate node, the second available candidate node, and a candidate node, wherein the respective services comprise a first service associated with the first available candidate node and a second service associated with the candidate node, wherein the respective operational statuses comprise a first operational status, which represents a first operational status of the first available candidate node or a first service operational status of the first service, and a second operational status, which represents a second operational status of the candidate node or a second service operational status of the second service, and wherein the method further comprises:
based on the operational data associated with the group of candidate nodes:
determining, by the system, that the first available candidate node is to be included in the group of available candidate nodes based on the first operational status indicating that the first available candidate node is active and available and the first service operational status indicating that the first service is available to be operated on the first node, wherein the first service corresponds to the service type of the service associated with the client request; or
determining, by the system, that the candidate node is not to be included in the group of available candidate nodes based on the second operational status indicating that the candidate node is inactive or unavailable or the second service operational status indicating that the second service is unavailable or does not correspond to the service type of the service associated with the client request.
