    摘要: Methods, systems and computer program products for configuring private cloud computing resources to run a workload in the execution context of a dynamically configured virtualization system. Embodiments commence upon receiving a computing workload demand specification from a resource demander. The workload demand specification is delivered to a brokerage service. The brokerage service in turn identifies an available computing resource of a private cloud provider that matches up with the received computing workload demand specification. A virtualization system that is dynamically configured for the specified workload is installed on some or all of the available computing resources of the private cloud provider. Once the virtualization system is configured, installed and able to accept a workload for execution, the computing workload is scheduled to run in the virtualization system.

    摘要: Methods, systems and non-transitory computer readable media for handling IP network addresses in a virtualization system. Embodiments are configured to receive, from a cloud provider, a cloud provider media access control address to assign to a network interface of a computing node. Also received from the cloud provider is a cloud provider's IP address associated with the cloud provider's media access control address. A virtual machine on the computing node is configured such that the cloud provider's IP address serves as an IP address of the virtual machine and such that a virtualization system media access control address serves as a MAC address of the virtual machine. The virtualization system correlates the cloud provider's media access control address to the IP address of the virtual machine. In some cases, the cloud provider's media access control address stored in a virtual switch of a hypervisor.

    摘要: Methods, systems and computer program products for deploying a virtualization system onto cloud computing infrastructure. Virtual machines of a virtualization system are deployed onto computing nodes that are interconnected via a cloud provider's networking infrastructure. When migrating a virtual machine from a source computing node to a target computing node that is also interconnected to the cloud provider's networking infrastructure, the addressing of the to-be-migrated virtual machine changes. Dynamically-updated media access control translation tables are maintained at the computing nodes. The media access control translation tables are populated with cloud provider media access control addresses received from the cloud provider. A virtual switch at each computing node modifies incoming and outgoing packets of a to-be-migrated virtual machine based on contents of that node's media access control translation table. On an ongoing basis, addressing information for migrated virtual machines is received at the computing nodes by operation of address resolution protocols.
