Patent attributes
Some embodiments disclosed herein are directed to a resource management node that controls deployment of resource nodes in a distributed computing system. The resource management node includes a processor and a memory having computer readable program code that when executed by the processor causes the processor to perform operations that include deploying a group of resource nodes in a distributed computing system, and distributing requests received from the user electronic devices to the resource nodes of the group for processing. A resource deployment threshold is determined based on performance parameters of the resource nodes of the group, and a loading metric is determined based on the request. The operations include controlling further deployment of resource nodes to the group responsive to comparison of the loading metric to the resource deployment threshold. Related methods in a resource management node are disclosed.
