Abstract: A virtualized computing environment includes a plurality of host computers, each host being connected to a physical network and having a hypervisor executing therein. To provision a virtual machine requiring a connection to a virtual network in one of the hosts, a candidate host for hosting the virtual machine, the candidate host having the virtual network configured therein, is selected. A request is then made for a status of the virtual network to the candidate host. The status of the virtual network is then received from the candidate host. If the virtual network is available, then the virtual machine is deployed to the candidate host. If the virtual network is not available, then a second candidate host is selected for hosting the virtual machine.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for a management application running on a virtualization management platform and a module on a virtual machine host to communicate via an opaque pass-through channel for transporting data through the management platform and intermediate layer(s) of the virtual machine host between the management application and the module. In one embodiment, the data is identified by a key which is unique across management applications and includes a namespace registered by the management application on the management platform and registered by the module on the virtual machine host. In another embodiment, the namespace may indicate an association of the data with one or more entities such as a distributed virtual switch, port groups, ports, and virtual machine hosts. Configuration property settings for an entity may be propagated to its sub-entities based on inheritance. Further, the data may be persisted in database(s) of the management platform and/or the intermediate layer(s).

Abstract: Methods, computer-readable storage medium, and systems described herein facilitate registering and consuming network services on a virtual network. A virtual machine management server (VMMS) is configured to receive a service definition associated with a network service. The VMMS creates one or more service profiles based on the service definition. The VMMS configures a plurality of hosts based on the one or more service profiles such that the network service is usable, via a virtual network, by one or more virtual machines within the plurality of hosts.
