Embodiments of the invention relates to an electronic cigarette, comprising a cigarette cartridge; a cigarette rod, which is connected to the cigarette cartridge and which is used to supply electricity to the cigarette cartridge; a decorative part, wherein there is at least one decorative part arranged along the periphery direction partially or fully encircling the cigarette rod. The decorative part of the electronic cigarette is arranged encircling the cigarette rod of the electronic cigarette. When the electronic cigarette slips and falls onto the ground, the decorative part will touch the ground first, providing a cushioning and shock-absorbing effect, thereby protecting the cigarette rod such that inner elements of the cigarette rod may work normally.

The present invention relates to a loosening mechanism and an aerial fog generating device, wherein the loosening mechanism comprises a rotating portion; the rotating portion comprises an outer housing and an inner housing, the outer housing is sleeved onto the inner housing, and the inner housing is used for placing an aerial fog forming substrate; a pressing mechanism is provided on the inner housing, the outer housing is capable of moving along a circumferential direction, and the circumferential movement is converted into axial movement to drive the pressing mechanism to apply a radial pressing force to the aerial fog forming substrate; the inner housing is capable of being rotatably connected to the aerial fog generating device between a first position and a second position, and the aerial fog forming substrate and a heating element are capable of generating relative movement in the circumferential direction in the process from the first position to the second position; and the aerial fog forming substrate is in contact with the heating element in the first position and the second position. By using the loosening mechanism, a user can easily pull out the aerial fog forming substrate from the heating element, so that the user can conveniently clean the aerial fog generation device.

An example method is provided to perform policy-based data placement in a virtualized computing environment. The method may comprise receiving a request to create a virtual disk for a virtual machine in the virtualized computing environment. The request may include a usage type associated with the virtual disk. The method may further comprise, based on a data placement policy associated with the usage type, determining a datastore on which to place the virtual disk and to store data of the usage type associated with the virtual disk.

Policy-based data placement in a virtualized computing environment

In one embodiment, a computer system creates a first template VM that includes a first OS VMDK and a first software binary VMDK, and clones the first template VM to create a linked clone VM. The linked clone VM executes a guest OS by accessing the first OS VMDK and a software application by accessing the first software binary VMDK. The computer system further creates a second template VM that includes a second software binary VMDK, where the second software binary VMDK includes one or more upgrades to the software application that are not included in the first software binary VMDK. The computer system then detaches the first software binary VMDK from the linked clone VM and attaches the second software binary VMDK to the linked clone VM. The linked clone VM thereafter executes the software application by accessing the second software binary VMDK.
