Claim Text:
1. A computer-implemented method for an inductor node to induct a selected inductee node into a distributed computing system, comprising: generating an induction task comprising information necessary to complete an induction of the selected inductee node into the distributing computing system; sending the induction task to the selected inductee node over a computer network; receiving a membership request from the selected inductee node over the network, the membership request comprising information identifying the inductee node and information sufficient to enable communication with the selected inductee node; creating a bootstrap membership that defines roles of the inductor node and the selected inductee node, deploying the bootstrap membership and sending a bootstrap membership ready message to the selected inductee node; creating a deterministic state machine referencing the created bootstrap membership; and receiving an acknowledgment that the selected inductee node has created a corresponding bootstrap membership.
