Abstract: Methods and systems assist data center customer to plan virtual data center (“VDC”) configurations, create purchase recommendations to achieve either an expansion or contraction of a VDC, and optimize the data center cost. Methods generate recommendations on lower cost combinations of virtual machine (“VM”) guest OS licenses, server computer hardware and VM software to optimize the costs are generated, generate data center customer plans for additional VMs with Quest OS for a projected period of time, provide recommendations on lower cost combination of guest OS licenses, server hardware, and VM software to optimize the cost. Methods also report any underutilized licensed servers and provide recommendations for cost savings when volume licenses can be replaced by instance based software licenses. Methods may generate VM placement recommendations to data center customers while the customers attempt to manually migrate VMs to different server computers.

Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method for a global manager that manages a logical network configuration for multiple datacenters that each have a local manager for managing the logical network configuration within the datacenter. Based on detecting that a connection to a particular local manager of a particular datacenter has been restored after a period of unavailability, the method identifies a portion of the logical network configuration that is relevant to the particular datacenter. In a series of transactions, the method transfers the identified portion of the logical network configuration to the particular local manager. During the series of transactions, the method identifies modifications to the identified portion of the logical network configuration to be included in the series of transactions. Upon completion of the series of transactions, the method transfers a notification to the particular local manager indicating completion of the series of transactions.

Abstract: Systems and techniques are described for generating test cases. A described technique includes monitoring a manual test of a code portion. The monitoring can include identifying one or more performed operations performed during the manual test. A seed file can be generated that includes data describing the one or more performed operations. A mock test can be generated for the code portion using the seed file. The mock test can include one or more mock operations that match the one or more performed operations. The mock test can be performed on the code portion, including performing the one or more mock operations using the code portion.

Abstract: An example method of managing conflicts between a first inventory of a first manager and a second inventory of a second manager each managing entities in a computer system includes: receiving, at the first manager from the second manager, an update to be applied to the first inventory, the update comprising a first object, disposed in the second inventory, which applies a first policy to an entity in the computing system; detecting a conflict with a second object disposed in the first inventory, the second object applying a second policy to the entity; adding, in response to the conflict, the update to a buffer of the first manager; detecting a resolution of the conflict in the first inventory caused by the second object; and applying, in response to the resolution, the update from the buffer to the first inventory.

Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method for a management service executing within a container cluster to manage logical networks for multiple tenants. Each tenant logical network is distributed across a respective set of datacenters. The method determines that a particular datacenter of a particular tenant requires a complete synchronization of the logical network for the particular tenant. Based on the determination, the method instantiates an on-demand service to manage streaming logical network configuration data for the particular datacenter from a database in the container cluster that stores logical network configurations for each of the multiple tenants.

Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method for one of multiple shared API processing services in a container cluster that implements a network policy manager shared between multiple tenants. The method receives a configuration request from a particular tenant to modify a logical network configuration for the particular tenant. Configuration requests from the plurality of tenants are balanced across the plurality of shared API processing services. Based on the received configuration request, the method posts a logical network configuration change to a configuration queue in the cluster. The configuration queue is dedicated to the logical network of the particular tenant. Services are instantiated separately in the container cluster for each tenant to distribute configuration changes from the respective configuration queues for the tenants to datacenters that implement the tenant logical networks such that configuration changes for one tenant do not slow down processing of configuration changes for other tenants.

Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method for distributing rules associated with a particular logical network element that is implemented across one or more physical sites. The method uses a set of attributes of a set of elements associated with the particular logical network element to identify a particular set of physical sites spanned by the particular logical network element. The method identifies a set of rules associated with the particular logical network element. The method distributes the identified set of rules to each site of the identified set of physical sites.

Abstract: Methods and systems to compute application license costs of a number of applications run on virtual machines of a virtualized data center are described. In one aspect, one or more of the virtual machines (“VMs”) that form the virtual data center are determined. Each VM is created from hardware components specifications of one or more application blueprints stored in a data-storage devices. The one or more blueprints are searched to determine the one more applications that run in each VM. For each VM, a total VM application licensing cost of the one or more applications is computed based on one or more of an application instance license cost, application socket license cost, and application core license of each of the one or more applications associated with each application.
