A system and method of automated downtime scheduling and control is disclosed. A failure of at least one component of at least one bare-metal server associated with a client is detected and a first notification is transmitted to a client system associated with the client. The notification includes a request to schedule downtime. A response including a selected downtime is received from the client system and the at least one bare-metal server is transitioned to an offline state at the selected downtime. A ticket is generated in a ticketing system for repair of the bare-metal server. The ticket identifies the at least one component.

Self-service operation for bare-metal servers

This application relates to apparatus and methods for communication with and management of datacenters, such as cloud datacenters employing multiple servers. A control server may identify one or more validations to be executed for a plurality of datacenters. The validations may include a test, a configuration, or a status inquiry of the datacenters or servers of the datacenters, for example. The control server may identify a single user request to execute the validations for the plurality of datacenters. Based on the single user request, the control server may generate a plurality of requests based on the identified validations and plurality of datacenters. The control server may transmit the plurality of requests to the plurality of datacenters. The control server may determine if a response to the requests is received, and may provide status for display based on the received responses.

Methods and apparatus for datacenter communications

This application relates to apparatus and methods for communication with and management of datacenters, such as cloud datacenters employing multiple servers. A control server may identify one or more networks to be searched in a plurality of datacenters. The control server may identify a user request to execute the search for the networks in the plurality of datacenters. Based on the user request, the control server may generate a plurality of requests that request network data from the plurality of datacenters. The control server may transmit the plurality of requests to the plurality of datacenters. The control server may determine if a response to the requests is received. The response may include network data identifying one or more networks a datacenter supports. The control server may determine if the supported networks match the identified networks, and may provide status for display based on the determination.

Methods and apparatus for network address identification

This application relates to apparatus and methods for reallocating tasks among servers, such as cloud datacenter compute servers. A control server may identify hypervisors running virtual machines that are consuming higher processing power, and may reallocate one or more of the virtual machines to one or more hypervisors consuming lower processing power. In some examples, the control server reallocates virtual machines among hypervisors based on how many virtual machines each hypervisor is running. In some examples, the control server identifies virtual machines associated with higher processing steal times, and may reallocate the identified virtual machines to hypervisors that are consuming lower processing power. The virtual machines may be reallocated to a different hypervisor executing on a same server, to a different hypervisor executing on a different server in a same datacenter, or to a different hypervisor executing on a different server in a different datacenter.

Methods and apparatus for virtual machine rebalancing

This application relates to apparatus and methods for communication with and management of datacenters, such as cloud datacenters employing multiple servers. A control server may identify a plurality of datacenters from which to request block storage status. The control server may identify a user request to execute multiple requests to obtain the block storage status from the plurality of datacenters. Based on the user request, the control server may generate the plurality of requests. The control server may transmit the plurality of requests to the plurality of datacenters. The control server may determine if a response to the requests is received. The response may include block storage status data identifying whether a service managing storage blocks for the datacenter is operational. The control server may also provide the block storage status for display.

Methods and apparatus for determining block storage status

Example systems and methods for resource allocation for infrastructure engineering are described. In one implementation, a method identifies resources for infrastructure engineering with respect to an organization. The method also sorts the resources based on skills and roles associated with the infrastructure engineering, and then determines multiple teams based on the sorted resources.
