    Abstract: Some embodiments of the invention provide a method for deploying machines for users in a software-defined datacenter (SDDC). The method in some embodiments is performed by a host computer that executes one or more machines. The method formulates a prediction regarding a particular user that is likely to log into a particular machine (e.g., virtual machine (VM), Pod, container, etc.) executing on a host computer of the SDDC in a future time period. Before the user logs into the particular machine, the method pre-fetches from a server a set of rules for a set of network elements that will process data messages associated with the machine after the particular user starts using the particular machine. The method uses the pre-fetched set of rules to configure the set of network elements to process data messages from the particular machine when the particular user logs into the machine during the time period. On the other hand, the method discards the pre-fetched set of rules when the particular user does not log into the particular machine during the time period.

    Abstract: In some embodiments, a method receives a first address resolution mapping from a workload and verifies the first address resolution mapping. When the first address resolution mapping is verified, the method adds the first address resolution mapping to a list of address resolution mappings. The list of address resolution mappings includes verified address resolution mappings. The list of address resolution mappings is sent to the workload to allow the workload to verify a second address resolution mapping using the list of verified address resolution mappings.

    Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to configuring a legacy application or service with a reconfigurable cryptographic provider capable of leveraging many different cryptographic algorithms, protocols or functions. The application or service can be configured with the reconfigurable cryptographic provider by redirecting cryptographic API calls intended for a linked static shared cryptographic library or provider to a cryptographic adapter configured to emulate responses provided by the linked static shared cryptographic library. A cryptographic adapter is also described and is configured to generate abstracted versions of the cryptographic API calls and pass them on to the reconfigurable cryptographic provider, which selects and implements an appropriate cipher solution based on the abstracted cryptographic API calls.

    Abstract: In some embodiments, a method receives one or more address resolution mappings and sends the one or more first address resolution mappings to a manager for verification of the one or more first address resolution mappings. The method receives one or more responses based on the verification of the one or more first address resolution mappings and allows or disallows use of the one or more address resolution mappings based on the one or more responses. A list of verified address resolution mappings is received from the manager based on the verification of the one or more first address resolution mappings. Then, the method receives a second address resolution mapping and verifies the second address resolution mapping using the list of verified address resolution mappings.

    Abstract: Example methods and systems for a computer system to perform context-aware service query filtering are described. One example may involve a computer system intercepting a service query from a virtualized computing instance to pause forwarding of the service query towards a destination; and obtaining context information associated with an application running on the virtualized computing instance. In response to determination that the service query is a potential security threat based on the context information, service query filtering may be performed to inspect the service query for malicious activity. Otherwise, in response to determination that the service query is not a potential security threat based on the context information, the service query filtering may be skipped and the service query forwarded towards the destination.
