Summary:A secondary pool of VMs is used to run secondary services or jobs, which may be evicted upon failure of a corresponding primary VM. Upon detection of a failure of a primary resource, the secondary services or jobs are evicted from secondary pool resources, and the secondary pool resources can be automatically allocated to the jobs of the failed primary resource. In this regard, a secondary job may be thought of as a preemptible job and comprises services or jobs that are lower priority than the service or job on the primary resource. By using computing resources in the secondary pool to run secondary or preemptible jobs, this technology makes use of what would be otherwise idle resources. This beneficially avoids having to allocate additional and separate computing resources for secondary jobs, leads to more efficient use of network resources, and reduces costs.
