    摘要: An approach for a software defined networking manager to perform a predictive analysis of proposed modifications to a software defined network (SDN) is presented. A method comprises receiving entity logical associations that are captured in a set of rules implemented in a SDN. Once a proposed modification to the entity logical associations is received, without implementing the proposed modification and without modifying the set of rules, impacted entity associations, from the entity logical associations, are identified. Upon receiving input indicating that the proposed modification is to be accepted, an updated set of rules for the SDN is generated by updating the set of rules based on the proposed modification, and the updated set of rules is implemented in the SDN.

    摘要: This disclosure presents processes and systems that translate policies defined for virtual objects, such as virtual servers, applications, and databases, of a distributed computing system into identity information of services provided by virtual objects to computing devices located outside the distributed computing system. Processes and systems form object graphs of computing device identity information, virtual objects, and virtual object identify information. Processes and systems translate polices for controlling network between the computing devices and the virtual objects into identity information of the computing devices and the virtual objects. The identify information of the virtual objects and the computing devices is used to create rules for controlling network traffic between the virtual objects and the computing devices. The rules are distributed to hosts of the distributed computing system that execute the rules, allowing access by the computing devices to services provided by the virtual objects.

    摘要: Example methods are provided for a first node to perform identifier (ID) allocation in a virtualized computing environment that includes a cluster formed by the first node and at least one second node. The method may comprise retrieving, from a pool of IDs associated with the cluster, a batch of IDs to a cache associated with the first node. The pool of IDs may be shared within the cluster and the batch of IDs retrieved for subsequent ID allocation by the first node. The method may also comprise, in response to receiving a request for ID allocation from an ID consumer, allocating one or more IDs from the batch of IDs in the cache to respective one or more objects for unique identification of the one or more objects across the cluster; and sending, to the ID consumer, a response that includes the allocated one or more IDs.

    摘要: In a computer-implemented method for managing resource allocation of a managed system, responsive to a request by a consumer node, an owner node of a plurality of owner nodes that controls resource allocations from the pool of resources is determined, where the resource is associated with a data object. A resource is allocated from a pool of resources comprising a plurality of resources by the owner node. An allocation marker corresponding to the resource is created. The resource and the allocation marker are made available for retrieval by the consumer node.
