SYSTEM STATE ADAPTIVE WORKLOAD PLACEMENT AND REQUEST ROUTING USING SEARCH TECHNOLOGY

An adaptive workload placement and service request routing while ensuring that information relating to a current system state remains confidential. A search index representing a current system state and context is built and a set of service instances is received. The set of service instances are then associated with a set of search queries that are run against the search index, with the running of the set of search queries against the search index producing a set of scored search results. Each scored search result is associated with a service instance. The service instance associated with the highest scored search result is selected, and a service request is routed to the selected service instance.
