Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed for managing compute resources in a computing environment. Disclosed examples are to select an offering workload in a computing environment to lend at least one resource to a needy workload in the computing environment; Disclosed examples are also to cause a host associated with the offering workload to at least one of (i) instantiate a first virtual machine when the host is implemented with a second virtual machine or (ii) instantiate a first container when the host is implemented with a second container. Disclosed examples are further to assign the first virtual machine or the first container to the needy workload.

Methods and apparatus to manage compute resources in a hyperconverged infrastructure computing environment

Examples described herein include systems and methods for providing dynamic serviceability for a software-defined data center ('SDDC'). An example method can include collecting data-center metrics from a management service that monitors the SDDC, filtering the data-center information based on a predetermined list of metrics provided by a partner entity, and translating the filtered data-center information into a partner-specific format requested by the partner entity. The example method can also include generating metadata associated with the translated data-center information and transmitting the metadata and translated data-center information to a partner site associated with the partner entity. If the partner site is not available, the method can include transmitting the information to a partner-accessible storage location and, when the partner site becomes available, identifying the storage location and failed attempt to deliver the information.

Providing dynamic serviceability for software-defined data centers

The disclosure provides an approach for processing frames of a virtualized desktop to improve accessibility for users, such as users with disabilities. The approach involves processing frames by an accessibility engine that is located on a client device of the user. The virtualized desktop runs on a virtual machine that is remote to the client device. The location of the accessibility engine on the client device allows advantages such as the ability to process frames that indicate a non-operational virtual machine.

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to techniques for providing an augmented reality experience for virtual desktops. In particular, certain embodiments relate to acquiring, by a computing device one or more images from a client device and determining, by the computing device, that the one or more images contain an artifact to be augmented. Further, certain embodiments involve acquiring, by the computing device, a screen buffer from a virtual desktop or application running on it and applying, by the computing device, a geometric transformation to the screen buffer. Further, certain embodiments relate to augmenting, by the computing device, the one or more images by inserting the screen buffer onto the artifact, resulting in one or more augmented images. Further, certain embodiments relate to providing, by the computing device, the one or more augmented images to the client device in order to provide a user of the client device with the augmented reality experience.

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to providing an augmented reality experience. Embodiments include receiving, from an augmented reality or virtual reality (AR/VR) device, first input that identifies application content and a location of an artifact in an AR/VR environment. Embodiments include identifying a region in the environment based on the location, the region corresponding to the artifact. Embodiments include receiving the application content from an application. Embodiments include composing a first scene, the application content being overlaid onto the region. Embodiments include transporting the first scene to the AR/VR device for display. Embodiments include receiving, from the client device, second input in the region in the environment. Embodiments include composing a second scene wherein the application content is modified based on the second input. Embodiments include transporting the second scene to the AR/VR device for display.

Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed for managing compute resources in a computing environment. Examples disclosed herein include identifying (i) needy workloads and (ii) offering workloads in the computing environment. Disclosed examples also include selecting a first one of the offering workloads to lend resources to a first one of the needy workloads. Disclosed examples further include causing a host associated with the first one of the offering workloads to at least one of (i) instantiate a first virtual machine when the host is implemented with a second virtual machine or (ii) instantiate a first container when the host is implemented with a second container, and assigning the first virtual machine or the first container to the first one of the needy workloads.

Embodiments disclosed herein relate to a method, system, and computer-readable medium for monitoring an application executing across a plurality of containers. A performance monitor requests a list of containers created on at least one computing system. The performance monitor retrieves information associated with a creation of each container in the list. The performance monitor parses the information associated with each container in the list to identify a cluster of related containers that are running the applications. The performance monitor displays a topology that relates the containers of the cluster to resources in the at least one computing system. The performance monitor identified a pair of containers that are negatively correlated based on the topology. The performance monitor adjusts the application to remove the negative correlation between the pair of containers.
