Abstract: A method and system for managing communication connections in a virtualization environment implemented by a cluster of host machines, each of the host machines comprises a hypervisor, at least one user virtual machine (UVM), a connection manager, and an I/O controller. The system includes a virtual disk accessible by all of the I/O controllers and comprising a plurality of storage devices. The system includes a first host machine of the host machines designated as a leader node, wherein the leader node configured to confirm a second one of the host machines is unreachable; and transmit, in response to the confirmation, an update message to other host machines in the cluster. The update message identifies the unreachable host machine and causes the other host machines to block messages from the unreachable host machine and send an acknowledgement of the update message back to the leader node.

Abstract: A method of managing servers of a distributed computer system by using an intent-based CLI (command line interface) executing by one or more processors of a remote computing device, the servers hosting a virtual cluster comprising one or more virtual machines. The method includes receiving, by a first server of the servers, a connection-request from the intent-based CLI to establish an encrypted connection between the first server and the remote computing device. The method includes authenticating the connection-request and establishing, in response to authenticating the connection-request, a first encrypted communication channel between the first server and the remote computing device. The method includes receiving, via the first encrypted communication channel, an operation-request for a list of intent-based operations supported by the first server. The method includes building, by the first server and in response to receipt of the operation-request, a list of intent-based operations supported by the first server.

Abstract: A system and method for facilitating communication between one or more of a plurality of user virtual machines and external devices is disclosed. The system includes a plurality of uplink bridges configured to facilitate communication between the plurality of user virtual machines and the external devices, a plurality of local bridges, with each of the plurality of user virtual machines being connected to one or more of the plurality of local bridges, and a first multiplexing bridge connected to the plurality of local bridges. The first multiplexing bridge is configured to direct data between the plurality of user virtual machines and the plurality of uplink bridges. The system also includes a second multiplexing bridge connected to the first multiplexing bridge and the plurality of uplink bridges. The second multiplexing bridge is configured to direct the data between the first multiplexing bridge and the plurality of uplink bridges.
