Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for migrating from a first container runtime to a second container runtime. One of the methods includes deploying a second control plane virtual machine that is configured to manage containers of a cluster of virtual execution environments using the second container runtime; obtaining, for each container executing workloads hosted by a respective virtual execution environment, a respective container image representing a current state of the container; updating each obtained container image to a format that is compatible with the second container runtime; deploying, for each updated container image, a corresponding container hosted by a virtual execution environment in the cluster, wherein the deployed container is managed by the second control plane virtual machine; decommissioning a first control plane virtual machine and transferring control of the containers of the cluster to the second control plane virtual machine.

Abstract: An example method of deploying a logical network platform in a virtualized computing system, the virtualized computing system including a host cluster and a virtualization management server connected to a physical network, the host cluster having hosts and a virtualization layer executing on hardware platforms of the hosts is described. The method includes receiving, at the virtualization management server, a declarative specification describing a proposed state of the logical network platform; deploying, by the virtualization management server, a network manager of the logical network platform in response to the proposed state in the declarative specification; and deploying, by the virtualization management server in cooperation with the network manager, binaries to the hosts in the host cluster.
