Abstract: An example virtualized computing system includes: a host cluster having hosts and a virtualization layer executing on hardware platforms of the hosts, the virtualization layer supporting execution of virtual machines (VMs); an orchestration control plane integrated with the virtualization layer, the orchestration control plane including a master server executing in a first VM of the VMs; guest cluster infrastructure software (GCIS) executing in the master server, the GCIS configured to create a set of objects defining a container orchestration cluster, and manage lifecycles of second VMs of the VMs based on state of the set of objects; and guest software executing in the second VMs to implement the container orchestration cluster as a guest cluster of the host cluster, the guest software having components that interface with the GCIS.

Abstract: Examples described herein include systems and methods for backing up and recovering a software-defined data center (“SDDC”). In one example, entities of the SDDC, such as virtual machines, hosts, and clusters, can coexist with corresponding entity stores. The entity stores can store current state information for each SDDC entity. For example, an identifier or name of a virtual machine can be stored in that virtual machine's corresponding entity store. When recovery of a controller is needed, the controller can rebuild state information that has changed after the controller was backed up, by retrieving state information from entity stores of the various SDDC entities.

Abstract: Systems, apparatus, articles of manufacture, and methods are disclosed to manage a deployment of virtual machines in a cluster by, in a first host of a plurality of hosts, monitor, with first control plane services, an availability of second control plane services at a second host of the plurality of hosts, wherein the first control plane services and the second control plane services support implementation of application programming interface (API) requests in association with managing a cluster, after a determination that the second control plane services at the second host is not available, assign the first control plane services at the first host to operate in place of the second control plane services at the second host, and in the first host, assign, via the first control plane services at the first host, resources of one or more hosts in the cluster to support the API request.
