US Patent 11449350 Systems and methods for automatically updating compute resources

Systems and methods for automatically removing and replacing outdated compute resources in a cluster. The systems and methods include a configurable monitoring system that is configured to detect outdated compute resources and trigger a cycling process to automatically replace the detected outdated compute resources with new compute resources. The disclosed systems and methods safely rotate a group of compute resources by identifying and detaching outdated compute resources, waiting until the outdated compute resources have been drained of pending jobs scheduled on these resources, waiting until replacement compute resources have started and then cordoning, draining, deleting and terminating the outdated compute resources.
