Abstract:
1. A method comprising: creating a plurality of takeover groups, by a processor device, including a first takeover group and a second takeover group from a set of computing resources, wherein: assigning a first label associated with a first site to a first computing resource at the first site, wherein the first computing resource is included in the first takeover group, and wherein the first label is assigned to a first resource reference identifying the first computing resource; assigning a second label associated with a second site to a second computing resource at the second site, wherein the second computing resource is included in the first takeover group, wherein the second label is assigned to a second resource reference identifying the second computing resource, and wherein the second site is distinct from the first site; assigning the first label to a third computing resource at the first site, wherein the third computing resource is included in the second takeover group, wherein the first label is assigned to a third resource reference identifying the third computing resource; assigning the second label to a fourth computing resource at the second site, wherein the fourth computing resource is included in the second takeover group, wherein the second label is assigned to a fourth resource reference identifying the fourth computing resource; creating a co-indexed relationship between the first takeover group and the second takeover group to enable selection of particular computing resources via a particular label; and in response to receiving a command that includes selection of the first label, placing the first computing resource and the third computing resource in an online state and placing the second computing resource and the fourth computing resource in an offline state using a single atomic operation.
