A system and a method for managing workload of an application in a cloud infrastructure is disclosed. The cloud infrastructure may include an existing cloud infrastructure (ECI) and an Elastic Machine Pool Infrastructure (EMPI). The method may include connecting the EMPI to the ECI by configuring cloud control manager of the ECI. Further, the method may include receiving the workload from the application running on the cloud infrastructure. The workload may be allocated to an Elastic Virtual Machine (EVM) hosted by the EMPI or a VM hosted by the ECI based on at least one of an EMP profile of the application, status of the EVM, and workload characteristics of the EVM. Further, the one or more bare metal servers and the one or more EVMs may be managed based on at least one of the workload characteristics and the status of the EVM.

System and method for managing workload of an application in a cloud computing environment

The system provisions and upgrades a private cloud stack from a public cloud application. The system registers and activates installed private cloud stacks to discover names, and software packages. The system enables each private cloud stack's roles for data plane elements and activates a private cloud stack. The system receives connection request from the installed host agent to customer resource manager. The system receives host related information from host agent. The software system stores and pushes the desired state for particular host agent to the host agent. The system installs components on enterprise machine associated with role via host agent. The system configures said installed components using templates and dynamic template parameters. The system receives continuous configuration updates for the installed components and continuous heart beat messages for account manager. The system displays visual alerts via UI for any heartbeat, component install or configuration failures.

Private cloud as a service

One embodiment of the present invention is a method for a virtual machine to access data from a virtual device, the method including: (a) attaching the virtual device to the virtual machine with a backing store that is a virtual image of a file system conforming to a predetermined file system format, wherein: (i) file system data is stored in one or more files, (ii) the virtual image includes metadata stored apart from the file system data, which metadata corresponds to the predetermined file system format, (iii) the metadata includes one or more directory records, and (iv) the one or more directory records include information that points directly or indirectly to the file system data; (b) issuing a read request for a block of data from the file system as if stored in the predetermined file system format; (c) accessing the metadata and determining the location of the requested block of data in the file system data; and (d) retrieving the requested block of data from the file system data.
