    Abstract: Techniques for providing redundancy between physical and virtual entities in a hyper-converged infrastructure are disclosed. In one example, a management node may include a physical to virtual redundancy module to identify a physical entity with configuration data in a hyper-converged infrastructure as a primary entity, determine an equivalent virtual entity corresponding to the physical entity, and deploy the equivalent virtual entity in a compute node of the hyper-converged infrastructure. Further, the physical to virtual redundancy module may apply the configuration data associated with the physical entity to the deployed equivalent virtual entity and designate the equivalent virtual entity as a fail-over entity to provide redundancy in an event of failure of the physical entity.

    Abstract: In one example, a computer implemented method may include dynamically generating a manifest file for a cluster in an hyperconverged infrastructure. The manifest file may include metadata associated with the cluster. Further, the method may include determining one or more physical hosts in a host pool that are compatible with the cluster using the manifest file and generating a cluster-to-physical host mapping table by mapping the cluster to the determined one or more physical hosts that are compatible with the cluster. Furthermore, the method may include provisioning the one or more physical hosts to the cluster using the cluster-to-physical host mapping table in response to detecting a trigger.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and software to implement network configuration updates in a computing network. In one implementation, a method includes identifying a threat related to an internet protocol (IP) address, wherein the IP address corresponds to a computing node in the computing network. After identifying the threat, the method further includes generates one or more routing update packets that indicate a block request for at least the IP address. Once generated, the method also provides communicating the one or more routing update packets to one or more routers in the computing network.

    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture are disclosed for rack nesting in virtualized server systems. An example apparatus includes a resource discoverer to identify resources to be allocated to the nested rack based on a policy indicative of one or more physical racks from which to identify the resources, and determine candidate resources from the resources to be allocated to the nested rack based on a capacity parameter indicative of a quantity of the resources available to be allocated to the nested rack, the candidate resources to have first hypervisors, and a nested rack controller to generate the nested rack by deploying second hypervisors on the first hypervisors, the second hypervisors to facilitate communication between the candidate resources and one or more virtual machines on the second hypervisors, the nested rack to execute one or more computing tasks based on the communication.

    Abstract: An example method may include receiving a first authentication credential corresponding to a component in a data center. The first authentication credential may be provided by a user to access the component. Further, the method may include dynamically generating a second authentication credential corresponding to the first authentication credential. The second authentication credential may be system-generated to access the component. Furthermore, the method may include generating mapping information for mapping the second authentication credential to the first authentication credential. In response to receiving a first request to perform a data center operation that is dependent on the component, the method may include utilizing the first authentication credential to authenticate the first request and utilizing the second authentication credential to perform the data center operation using the mapping information.
