    Abstract: A system that permits or otherwise facilitates assessment of operational state of a computing component in a computing environment. In one example, this disclosure describes a method that includes collecting, by a server device that is executing within a server device cluster, metric information indicative of an operational state of the server device, wherein the metric information is associated with a plurality of virtual computing instances executing on the server device; analyzing, by the server device and based on the metric information, whether a first condition associated with a first virtual computing instance is satisfied; analyzing, by the server device and based on the metric information, whether a second condition associated with a second virtual computing instance is satisfied; and updating control information characterizing the operational state of the server device executing within the server device cluster.

    Abstract: A computing system includes a computing device configured to execute a plurality of virtual machines, each virtual machine of the plurality of virtual machines configured to provide control plane functionality for at least a different respective subset of forwarding units of a network device, the computing device distinct from the network devices. The computing system also includes a policy agent configured to execute on the computing device. The agent is configured to determine that a particular virtual machine of the plurality of virtual machines provides control plane functionality for one or more forwarding units of the network device; determine control plane usage metrics for resources of the particular virtual machine; and output, to a policy controller, data associated with the control plane usage metrics and data associating the particular virtual machine with the one or more forwarding units for which the particular virtual machine provides control plane functionality.

    Abstract: The present invention addresses the need for improved virtualized cloud infrastructure policy implementation and management in order allow real-time monitoring and optimization of virtualized resources. It provides systems and methods for real-time cloud infrastructure policy implementation and management that include a plurality of host devices, a plurality of real-time probe agents associated with the plurality of host devices operating on each of the plurality of host devices, and a policy engine communicatively coupled to the plurality of host devices and containing a policy associated with an application program deployed in at least one of the plurality of host devices. The policy engine is programmed to monitor in real time changes in deployment of the application program across the plurality of host devices and to push the policy to the real-time probe agent operating on each host device on which the application program is deployed.

    Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques for monitoring, scheduling, and performance management for virtualization infrastructures within networks. In one example, a computing system includes a plurality of different cloud-based compute clusters (e.g., different cloud projects), each comprising a set of compute nodes. Policy agents execute on the compute nodes to monitor performance and usage metrics relating to resources of the compute nodes. Policy controllers within each cluster deploy policies to the policy agents and evaluate performance and usage metrics from the policy agents by application of one or more rulesets for infrastructure elements of the compute cluster. Each of the policy controllers outputs data to a multi-cluster dashboard software system indicative of a current health status for the infrastructure elements based on the evaluation of the performance and usage metrics for the cluster. The multi-cluster dashboard software system data outputs, as single user interface screen, the current health status for each of the cloud-based compute clusters.
