    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to backing up a virtual machine cluster and to determining virtual machine node ownership prior to backing up a virtual machine cluster. In one scenario, a computer system determines which virtual machines nodes are part of the virtual machine cluster, determines which shared storage resources are part of the virtual machine cluster and determines which virtual machine nodes own the shared storage resources. The computer system then indicates to the virtual machine node owners that at least one specified application is to be quiesced over the nodes of the virtual machine cluster, such that a consistent, cluster-wide checkpoint can be created. The computer system further creates a cluster-wide checkpoint which includes a checkpoint for each virtual machine in the virtual machine cluster.

    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to establishing efficient virtual machine reference points and to specifying a virtual machine reference point to query incremental changes. In one scenario, a computer system accesses a stable virtual machine checkpoint that includes portions of underlying data stored in data storage, where the checkpoint is associated with a specific point in time. The computer system then queries the data storage to determine data storage identifiers that reference the point in time associated with the checkpoint and stores the determined data storage identifiers as a virtual machine reference point, where each subsequent change to the data storage results in an update to the data storage identifier, so that virtual machine reference point is usable to identify incremental changes from specific points in time on.

    Abstract: Embodiments provide a method and system for transferring data between different computing devices. Specifically, a communication session is established between a first computing device and a second computing device. The communication session may be established using a first communication protocol. The first computing device creates a virtual memory object which is bound to one or more memory blocks of the first computing device. A path to the virtual memory object is generated and the path is transmitted to the second computing device using the communication session. The second computing device may then read or write data directly into/from the virtual memory object using a second communication protocol that is different from the first communication protocol. The data is written into and read from the virtual memory object using file system commands.

    Abstract: Described is a technology by which a virtual hard disk is migrated from a source storage location to a target storage location without needing any shared physical storage, in which a machine may continue to use the virtual hard disk during migration. This facilitates use the virtual hard disk in conjunction with live-migrating a virtual machine. Virtual hard disk migration may occur fully before or after the virtual machine is migrated to the target host, or partially before and partially after virtual machine migration. Background copying, sending of write-through data, and/or servicing read requests may be used in the migration. Also described is throttling data writes and/or data communication to manage the migration of the virtual hard disk.

    Abstract: A fine-grain selectable partially privileged container virtual computing environment provides a vehicle by which processes that are directed to modifying specific aspects of a host computing environment can be delivered to, and executed upon, the host computing environment while simultaneously maintaining the advantageous and desirable protections and isolations between the remaining aspects of the host computing environment and the partially privileged container computing environment. Such partial privilege is provided based upon directly or indirectly delineated actions that are allowed to be undertaken on the host computing environment by processes executing within the partially privileged container virtual computing environment and actions which are not allowed. Aspects of the host computing environment operating system, such as the kernel, are extended to interface with container-centric mechanisms to receive information upon which actions can be allowed or denied by the kernel even if the process attempting such actions would otherwise have sufficient privilege.
