Abstract: A virtualized computing system includes: a host cluster including hosts executing a virtualization layer on hardware platforms thereof, the virtualization layer configured to support execution of virtual machines (VMs), the VMs including a pod VM, the pod VM including a container engine configured to support execution of containers in the pod VM, the pod VM including a first virtual disk attached thereto; and an orchestration control plane integrated with the virtualization layer, the orchestration control plane including a master server in communication with a pod VM controller, the pod VM controller configured to execute in the virtualization layer external to the VMs and cooperate with a pod VM agent in the pod VM, the pod VM agent generating root directories for the containers in the pod VM, each of the root directories comprising a union a read/write ephemeral layer stored on the first virtual disk and a read-only layer.

Abstract: Container images are managed in a clustered container host system with a shared storage device. Hosts of the system each include a virtualization software layer that supports execution of virtual machines (VMs), one or more of which are pod VMs that have implemented therein a container engine that supports execution of containers within the respective pod VM. A method of deploying containers includes determining, from pod objects published by a master device of the system and accessible by all hosts of the system, that a new pod VM is to be created, creating the new pod VM, and spinning up one or more containers in the new pod VM using images of containers previously spun up in another pod VM, wherein the images of the containers previously spun up in the other pod VM are stored in the storage device.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer programs for managing memory in a host where virtual machines (VMs) execute are presented. In one example, a method includes an operation for determining which amount of heap memory has been reserved in a Java virtual machine (JVM) that is in excess of the heap memory needed by the JVM. If there is excess heap memory, a Java balloon agent reserves a Java object in the heap memory. Typically, the Java object will be the size of one or more memory pages in the host. Further, the Java balloon agent loads the Java object with a certain value, for example, by zeroing out the page of memory. When a virtual machine monitor (VMM) in the host detects that a machine physical memory page associated with the Java object has the first value, then the VMM frees the machine physical memory page to make the memory available to other VMs or to other processes executing in the host.

Abstract: A distributed computing application is described that provides a highly elastic and multi-tenant platform for Hadoop applications and other workloads running in a virtualized environment. Multiple instances of a distributed computing framework, such as Hadoop, may be executed concurrently. A centralized manager detects when contention for computing resources, such as memory and CPU, causes tasks to run slower on VMs executing on a given host, and scales up or scales down a cluster based on the detected resource contention.
