A system according to an embodiment of the present invention includes at least two virtual machines running on a hardware platform using either a hosted or a bare metal hypervisor. The virtual machines may communicate with an agent-server resident in the host operating system or in one of the virtual machines to switch control of the hardware component, such as graphics hardware, from one virtual machine to another.

Managing signals from multiple virtual machines and controlling hardware directly or through an API by a host operating system

Various embodiments disclosed herein are related to an apparatus. In some embodiments, the apparatus includes a processor and a memory. In some embodiments, the memory includes instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the apparatus to collect, at a cloud server, service data from a collector framework service of an edge network. In some embodiments, the memory includes instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the apparatus to provide a configuration to the collector framework service based on the service data.

System and method for managing clusters in an edge network

Various embodiments disclosed herein are related to a non-transitory computer readable storage medium. In some embodiments, the medium includes instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to receive a stored configuration state of a cluster, receive a snapshot of the configuration state of the cluster, determine that an entity of the cluster is different between the stored configuration state and the snapshot, determine that a first timestamp of the stored configuration state is less than a second timestamp of the snapshot, and send an indication that the entity is changed.

Reconciliation of the edge state in a telemetry platform

Systems and methods for preferential treatment of a prioritized virtual machine during migration of a group of virtual machines from a first virtualized computing environment to a second virtualized computing environment. A data structure is allocated to store virtual machine migration task attributes that are associated with a plurality of in-process virtual machine migration tasks. As migration proceeds, the migration task attributes in the data structure are updated to reflect ongoing migration task scheduling adjustments and ongoing migration task resource allotments. A user interface or other process indicates a request to prioritize migration of a particular one of the to-be-migrated virtual machines. Based on the request, at least some of the virtual machine migration task attributes are modified to indicate a reduced scheduling priority of some of the to-be-migrated virtual machine migration tasks so as to preferentially deliver computing resources to the prioritized virtual machine migration tasks.

Virtual machine migration task management

Systems and methods for workload migration control. Migration control operations commence upon identifying a workload comprising two or more virtual machines to be migrated from a source computing environment to a target computing environment. A migration process initiates migration of the two or more virtual machines to the target computing environment. After the migration process has begun, a user identifies a prioritized virtual machine from among the two or more virtual machines that are in the process of being migrated. In response to receiving the user input, a migration manager suspends progression of selected virtual machines while accelerating progression of the migration of the prioritized virtual machine that is not suspended. The migration of the re-prioritized virtual machine preferentially receives computing resources. After migration of the re-prioritized virtual machine that is not suspended has completed, then the migration manager releases the suspension of the suspended virtual machines to continue migration.

Asynchronous workload migration control

An illustrative embodiment disclosed herein is a method, by a migration virtual machine, including determining whether a first target network interface card is configured by dynamic host configuration protocol and sending a first address resolution protocol request for a first source Internet Protocol gateway to the first target network interface card. Sending the first address resolution protocol request is based on determining that the first target network interface card is not configured by dynamic host configuration protocol. The method further includes determining whether the first target network interface card responds to the first address resolution protocol request of the migration virtual machine and applying an Internet Protocol configuration of a first source network interface card to the first target network interface card. Applying the Internet Protocol configuration is based on receiving a response from the first target network interface card to the first address resolution protocol request of the migration virtual machine.
