US Patent 11194632 Deploying microservices into virtualized computing systems

Methods, systems and computer program products for configuring microservices platforms in one or more computing clusters. In one of the computing clusters, a request to instantiate a microservice platform is received, wherein the request is received in a computing cluster having a first node and a second node, and wherein the first node and second node comprise a first virtualized storage controller and a second virtualized storage controller, respectively. The storage controllers each manage their respective storage pools comprising local storage devices. A first microservice manager is deployed on the first node and a second microservice manager is deployed on the second node. The first virtualized storage controller on the first node performs storage management operations for a first microservice instantiated by the first microservice manager, and the second virtualized storage controller on the second node performs storage management operations for a second microservice instantiated by the second microservice manager.
