    Abstract: Techniques are described for auditing clipboard operations in virtual desktop environments. The auditing takes place by detecting clipboard operations that are being redirected between the virtual desktop and the client device and recording log entries containing information about each clipboard operation that was redirected. In order to reduce auditing potential noise information, the redirection process is modified to delay populating the clipboard and recording log entries until a paste operation or other request for the clipboard is detected. In some situations, the clipboard redirection may be blocked based on the auditing capability, such as in cases where the auditing cannot take place due to the client computing device lacking support for auditing the clipboard operation and recording the necessary log entry.

    Abstract: Techniques for migrating a stateful workload between a source container cluster and a destination container cluster that have different storage backends are provided. In one set of embodiments, these techniques involve creating and running, at the time of the migration, transfer processes in the source and destination container clusters respectively, where (1) the source-side transfer process mounts the workload's persistent volumes (referred to as source persistent volumes) in the source container cluster, and (2) the destination-side transfer process mounts destination persistent volumes that have been dynamically provisioned in the destination container cluster in accordance with the specifications of the source persistent volumes. Upon being created and run, the source-side and destination-side transfer processes can work in concert to securely copy the data in the source persistent volumes to their corresponding destination persistent volumes, thereby transferring that data between the storage backends of the source and destination container clusters.
