Patent ID: 11128697

Abstract:
A client system maintains a source list comprising an ordered sequence of a plurality of content delivery servers. The ordered sequence indicates a sequence of the plurality of content delivery servers for the client system to send a request to obtain a mirror list. Each of the plurality of content delivery servers maintains a cluster membership list identifying the content delivery servers in a cluster, wherein the source list is configured in view of a cluster membership list. The client system determines that a first content delivery server in the ordered sequence of the source list is unavailable. A mirror list request is sent to a next content delivery server listed on the source list. The client system receives, from the next content delivery server in the source list, an updated mirror list including an updated load balanced ordered sequence of the plurality of content delivery servers in view of an availability associated with remaining content delivery servers of the plurality of content delivery servers for the client system to contact to obtain an update package comprising information relating to a computing resource associated with the client system.
