    Abstract: Techniques for minimizing guest OS licensing costs in a volume based licensing model in a virtual datacenter are described. In one example embodiment, a virtual machine (VM) that requires a license key for a type of guest OS installed in the VM is identified. A license key is then assigned to the VM by first attempting to reassign a license key from an inactive VM, and only if a license key is not available for reassignment, obtaining a new license key for the VM.

    Abstract: Techniques for providing a calendar based provisioning and management for IT administrator/user activities in a virtual datacenter is described. In one example embodiment, an IT task is scheduled as a calendar appointment using an at least one registered calendar application residing in a user device. The at least one registered calendar application is then monitored for the scheduled IT task. The scheduled IT task is then translated into an action/command based on the outcome of the monitoring. The action/command is then issued to manage the scheduled IT task in the datacenter/cloud.

    Abstract: Techniques for optimizing guest operating system (OS) utilization cost in a processor based licensing model in a virtual datacenter are described. In one example embodiment, a virtual machine (VM) that has or is scheduled to have an instance of an operating system (OS) that requires a license is identified. Availability of a physical processor of a first host computing system that is licensed to execute the OS based on the computing resource requirements of the VM, the physical processor based license, author assigned affinity to physical processors in the first host computing. system is determined. The VM is then migrated/placed to/on the physical processor of the first host computing system or migrated/placed to/on a physical processor of a second host computing system based on the outcome of the determination.

    Abstract: Methods and systems to compute application license costs of a number of applications run on virtual machines of a virtualized data center are described. In one aspect, one or more of the virtual machines (“VMs”) that form the virtual data center are determined. Each VM is created from hardware components specifications of one or more application blueprints stored in a data-storage devices. The one or more blueprints are searched to determine the one more applications that run in each VM. For each VM, a total VM application licensing cost of the one or more applications is computed based on one or more of an application instance license cost, application socket license cost, and application core license of each of the one or more applications associated with each application.

    Abstract: Disclosed are various approaches for remotely hosted management of network virtualization. In one approach, an administrative user at a client device is authenticated by a computing device for access to manage a network located remotely from the computing device. One or more commands are received from the client device to configure a software-defined networking rule for the network. The computing device communicates with one or more services on the network to implement the software-defined networking rule. A status of implementing the software-defined networking rule is reported to the client device.

    Abstract: Some embodiments of the invention provide a method for processing requests for performing operations on resources in a software defined datacenter (SDDC). The resources are software-defined (SD) resources in some embodiments. The method initially receives a request to perform an operation with respect to a first resource in the SDDC. The method identifies a policy that matches (i.e., is applicable to) the received request for the first resource by comparing a set of attributes of the request with sets of attributes of a set of policies that place constraints on operations specified for resources. In some embodiments, several sets of attributes for several policies can be expressed for resources at different hierarchal resource levels of the SDDC. The method rejects the received request when the identified policy specifies that the requested operation violates a constraint on operations specified for the first resource.
