Patent attributes
The technology provides for live migration from a first cluster to a second cluster. For instance, when requests to one or more cluster control planes are received, a predetermined fraction of the received requests may be allocated to a control plane of the second cluster, while a remaining fraction of the received requests may be allocated to a control plane of the first cluster. The predetermined fraction of requests are handled using the control plane of the second cluster. While handling the predetermined fraction of requests, it is detected whether there are failures in the second cluster. Based on not detecting failures in the second cluster, the predetermined fraction of requests allocated to the control plane of the second cluster may be increased in predetermined stages until all requests are allocated to the control plane of the second cluster.
