Abstract: An example method of managing a configuration of a virtualization management server in a software-defined data center (SDDC), the virtualization management server managing a cluster of hosts and a virtualization layer executing therein, includes: generating, by a service executing in the SDDC, a profile that includes a managed configuration exclusive of an unmanaged configuration, a union of the managed configuration and the unmanaged configuration being a configuration of the virtualization management server; validating, by the service, that the unmanaged configuration in the profile does not include dependencies with the unmanaged configuration; applying, by the service, the profile to the virtualization management server.

Abstract: Components of a distributed data object are synchronized using streamlined tracking metadata. A target component of the distributed data object is detected as it becomes available and stale. A source component that is up-to-date and that mirrors the address space of the detected target component is identified. A set of mapped address ranges and a set of unmapped address ranges of the identified source component are obtained. A mapped address range of the target component that corresponds with an unmapped address range of the source component is identified. The identified mapped address range of the target component is then synchronized with the corresponding unmapped address range of the source component. Thus, unmapped address ranges are synchronized without using tracking metadata of the source component.

Abstract: A method for flow based breakout of firewall usage based on trust is provided. Some embodiments include receiving flow data for one or more flows associated with an endpoint external to a data center, the flow data indicating the one or more flows meet one or more good flow criteria, the one or more flows corresponding to flows of data communicated via a firewall and determining, based on the flow data meeting one or more trusted endpoint criteria, the endpoint is trusted. Some embodiments of the method include generating one or more policies that flows associated with the endpoint can bypass the firewall and configuring an edge services gateway with the one or more policies to cause the edge services gateway to apply the one or more policies without applying the firewall.

Abstract: The disclosure provides approaches for managing multicast group membership at a node. An approach includes policing whether a pod can join a multicast group based on one or more rules. The approach further includes updating forwarding tables of a virtual switch based on whether the pod is allowed to join the multicast group.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to dynamic meeting space configuration based on content. A client device can detect an entry of a user into a meeting space and notify a management service of the entry of the user into the meeting space. The client device can receive an access token from the management service and provide an access request for an enterprise resource to an enterprise resource service, where the access request comprises the access token. The client device can receive the enterprise resource from the enterprise resource service. The client device can provide data regarding the security classification of the enterprise resource to an edge device located within the meeting space. The client device can receive, from the edge device, a confirmation that a plurality of internet of things (IoT) devices located within the meeting space have been configured according to the security classification of the enterprise resource. The client device can provide the enterprise resource to at least one of the IoT devices for exhibition within the meeting space.

Abstract: Disclosed are various examples of signaling host kernel crashes to a data processing unit (DPU) management operating system (OS). A host kernel crash handler is installed to a host device. A crash of a host kernel of the host device is detected. This triggers the host kernel crash handler to provide the signal to the DPU device, which executes a DPU side crash handling process based on the signal.

Abstract: Example methods and systems for elastic provisioning of container-based graphics processing unit (GPU) nodes are described. In one example, a computer system may monitor usage information associated with a pool of multiple container-based GPU nodes. Based on the usage information, the computer system may apply rule(s) to determine whether capacity adjustment is required. In response to determination that capacity expansion is required, the computer system may configure the pool to expand by adding (a) at least one container-based GPU node to the pool, or (b) at least one container pod to one of the multiple container-based GPU nodes. Otherwise, in response to determination that capacity shrinkage is required, the computer system may configure the pool to shrink by removing (a) at least one container-based GPU node, or (b) at least one container pod from the pool.

Abstract: Various aspects are disclosed for unified resource management for multiple workload schedulers. A resource manager receives a candidate host request from a workload scheduler. The resource manager transmits a set of candidate host snapshots for candidate hosts that match the workload resource requirements. The resource manager receives a workload allocation request for a host and reserves hardware resources on the host that match the workload resource requirements. The resource manager provides, to the workload scheduler, an indication that the hardware resources are successfully reserved for execution of the workload.

Abstract: The disclosure provides an example method for connection health monitoring and troubleshooting. The method generally includes monitoring a plurality of connections established between a first application running on a first host and a second application running on a second host; based on the monitoring, detecting two or more connections of the plurality of connections have failed within a first time period; in response to detecting the two or more connections have failed within the first time period, determining to initiate a single health check between the first host and the second host and enqueuing a single health check request in a queue to invoke performance of the single health check based on the single health check request; determining the queue comprises: a queued active health check request, or no previously-queued health check requests; enqueuing the single health check request in the queue; and performing the single health check.

Abstract: Disclosed are various examples of host and data processing unit (DPU) coordination for DPU maintenance events. A host device can have a DPU device connected to it. A data processing unit (DPU) maintenance process executed by a host device can quiesce applications or virtual machines of the host device, and call a DPU isolation interface that isolates the DPU device to prevent host panic. A kernel process of the host device unloads a driver of the DPU device from the host device and removes the DPU device from a device manager of the host device. A DPU maintenance action is performed once the DPU device is isolated.
