Abstract:
Methods, computing systems and computer program products implement embodiments of the present invention that include initializing multiple computing nodes to execute one or more software applications that provide a computing service, each of the computing nodes having a respective set of configuration data. Examples of the services include storage services, computational services and web service. Subsequent to deploying the multiple computing nodes as a software defined computing (SDC) cluster, an additional computing node is initialized using a given set of configuration data, and the additional computing node is added to the SDC cluster. In some embodiments, the additional node can be initialized and added to the SDC cluster in response to detecting a condition in the SDC cluster. In alternative embodiments, the additional node can be initialized and added to the SDC cluster in response to receiving a request to add an additional service to the SDC cluster.

Claim (Index 5):
An apparatus, comprising:\n a communications network; and multiple computing nodes coupled to the communications network, a given computing node configured: to initialize the multiple computing nodes to execute one or more software applications that provide a computing service, each of the computing nodes having a respective set of configuration data; wherein the multiple computing nodes comprise one or more virtual machines, and wherein the respective set of configuration data for a given virtual machine comprises a first set of configuration data for the given virtual machine and a second set of configuration data for the one or more software applications executing in the given virtual machine, at a first time, to deploy the multiple computing nodes as the software defined computing cluster, at a second time subsequent to the first time, automatically and without user intervention, to initialize, using a given set of configuration data based on each respective set of configuration data of the computing nodes of the software defined computing cluster, an additional computing node, and to add the additional computing node to the software defined computing cluster thereby automatically provisioning the additional computing node to the software defined computing cluster.
