A method of automatic and dynamic environment discovery and policy adaptation for a containerized environment is disclosed. A plurality of traffic monitoring policies for acquiring and monitoring data traffic transmitted between one or more components of a containerized environment are accessed. The containerized environment includes a plurality of software-implemented containers. The traffic monitoring policies are caused to be applied to one or more components in the containerized environment. A change to a configuration of the containerized environment is automatically detected. In response, one or more containers of the plurality of software-implemented containers are automatically identified as containers affected by the change. Based on that identification, a modification of a traffic monitoring policy is then automatically determined to produce a modified traffic monitoring policy, and the modified traffic monitoring policy is caused to be applied to one or more components in the containerized environment.

Dynamic modification of traffic monitoring policies for a containerized environment

Methods and apparatus are provided for transferring data between servers and a remote entity having multiple peripherals. Multiple servers are connected to a remote entity over an Remote Direct Memory Access capable network. The remote entity includes peripherals such as network interface cards (NICs) and host bus adapters (HBAs). Server descriptor rings and descriptors are provided to allow efficient and effective communication between the servers and the remote entity.

Efficient data transfer between servers and remote peripherals

Methods and apparatus are provided for creating a secure zone having multiple servers connected to a resource virtualization switch through I/O bus interfaces, such as PCI Express or PCI-AS. Servers connected to the resource virtualization switch using I/O bus interfaces share access to one or more virtualized cryptographic accelerators associated with the resource virtualization switch. Applications on a server or system images running on hypervisor inside server can use cryptographic accelerators associated with the resource virtualization switch as though the resources were included in the server itself. Connections between multiple servers and the resource virtualization switch are secure non-broadcast connections. Data provided to a resource virtualization switch can be cryptographically processed using one or more shared and virtualized cryptographic accelerators.
