A model view controller based Self-Adjusting Clustering Framework

A load balanced cluster is an abstraction for set of servers that are configured to share the workload. Each server of the cluster hosts the same set of applications or services. The process of application deployment is laborious and it is essential to efficiently manage a cluster. The existing techniques allow automation of the initial deployment and dynamic scaling. However, after the initial deployment, they do not ensure cluster members' consistency. This is quite important, as change is inevitable in the life of a software application. A new application may need to be deployed to an existing cluster or an existing application may need to be upgraded. In this paper, we propose a Model View Controller based, Self-Adjusting Cluster Framework (SACF) that enables auto deployment, auto upgradation and cluster members' consistency.
