Abstract: Examples of a virtualized file server that persistently stores file system event data records are described. The virtualized file server may include an audit framework with a connector publisher that is configured to publish the event data records and other information for consumption by other services using a message system. The event data records may include data related to various operations on the file system executed by the VFS. The VFS may persistently store event data records according to a data retention policy and/or until an event data record is consumed by one or more particular services.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a system for managing communication connections in a virtualization environment includes a plurality of host machines implementing a virtualization environment, wherein each of the host machines includes a hypervisor, at least one user virtual machine (user VM), and a distributed file server that includes file server virtual machines (FSVMs) and associated local storage devices. Each FSVM and associated local storage device are local to a corresponding one of the host machines, and the FSVMs conduct I/O transactions with their associated local storage devices based on I/O requests received from the user VMs. Each of the user VMs on each host machine sends each of its representative I/O requests to an FSVM that is selected by one or more of the FSVMs for each I/O request based on a lookup table that maps a storage item referenced by the I/O request to I/O the selected one of the FSVMs.

Abstract: Examples described herein include virtualized file servers which may include load balancing. For example, a recommendation engine may estimate a load associated with each of a plurality of file server virtual machines in a cluster. Based on the load, the recommendation engine may recommend changing ownership of one or more volume groups, scaling up the virtualized file server, scaling down the virtualized file server, scaling in the virtualized file server, scaling out the virtualized file server, or combinations thereof.
