Abstract: One example relates to a computer system that includes a plurality of host computers each executing a hypervisor. The computer system further includes a virtualization manager having an application programming interface (API) configured to manage the hypervisor on each of the plurality of host computers, the virtualization manager configured to create a virtual container host within a resource pool that spans the plurality of host computers. The computer system further includes a plurality of container virtual machines (VMs) in the virtual container host configured to consume resources in the resource pool. The computer system further includes a daemon appliance executing in the virtual container host configured to invoke the API of the virtualization manager to manage the plurality of container VMs in response to commands from one or more clients.

Abstract: A virtualized computing system supports the execution of a plurality of virtual machines, where each virtual machine supports the execution of applications therein. Each application executes within a container that isolates the application executing therein from other processes executing on the computing system. A hierarchy of virtual machine templates is created by instantiating a parent virtual machine template, the parent virtual machine template having a. guest operating system and a container. An application to be run in a container is determined, and, in response, the parent virtual machine template is forked to create a child virtual machine template, where the child virtual machine template includes a replica of the container, and where the guest operating system of the parent virtual machine template overlaps in memory with a guest operating system of the child virtual machine template. The application is then installed in the replica of the container.

Abstract translation: 虚拟化计算系统支持执行多个虚拟机，其中每个虚拟机支持其中的应用的执行。 每个应用程序在一个容器内执行，将在其中执行的应用程序与在计算系统上执行的其他进程隔离。 通过实例化父虚拟机模板创建虚拟机模板的层次结构，父虚拟机模板具有一个。 客户操作系统和容器。 确定要在容器中运行的应用程序，作为响应，分配父虚拟机模板以创建子虚拟机模板，其中子虚拟机模板包含容器的副本，以及客户机操作系统 的父虚拟机模板与子虚拟机模板的客户机操作系统在内存中重叠。 然后将应用程序安装在容器的副本中。
