Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer programs for managing memory in a host where virtual machines (VMs) execute are presented. In one example, a method includes an operation for determining which amount of heap memory has been reserved in a Java virtual machine (JVM) that is in excess of the heap memory needed by the JVM. If there is excess heap memory, a Java balloon agent reserves a Java object in the heap memory. Typically, the Java object will be the size of one or more memory pages in the host. Further, the Java balloon agent loads the Java object with a certain value, for example, by zeroing out the page of memory. When a virtual machine monitor (VMM) in the host detects that a machine physical memory page associated with the Java object has the first value, then the VMM frees the machine physical memory page to make the memory available to other VMs or to other processes executing in the host.
Abstract translation: 呈现虚拟机（VM）执行的主机中的内存的方法，系统和计算机程序。 在一个示例中，方法包括用于确定在Java虚拟机（JVM）中已经保留了超过JVM所需的堆内存的堆内存量的操作。 如果存在多余的堆内存，Java气球代理将在堆内存中保留一个Java对象。 通常，Java对象将是主机中一个或多个内存页面的大小。 此外，Java气球代理程序将Java对象加载到某个值，例如通过清空内存页面。 当主机中的虚拟机监视器（VMM）检测到与Java对象相关联的机器物理内存页面具有第一个值时，VMM将释放机器物理内存页面，使内存可用于其他VM或执行其他进程 在主机。

Abstract: Various aspects are disclosed for unified resource management of containers and virtual machines. A podVM resource configuration for a pod virtual machine (podVM) is determined using container configurations. The podVM comprising a virtual machine (VM) that provides resource isolation for a pod based on the podVM resource configuration. A host selection for the podVM is received from a VM scheduler. The host selection identifies hardware resources for the podVM. A container scheduler is limited to bind the podVM to a node corresponding to the hardware resources of the host selection from the VM scheduler. The podVM is created in a host corresponding to the host selection. Containers are started within the podVM. The containers correspond to the container configurations.

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: Methods, systems, and computer programs manage memory of a runtime environment executing on a virtual machine. A runtime environment, such as a Java Virtual Machine, may deterministically arrange immutable data within memory such that a hypervisor may perform page sharing on the immutable data. The runtime environment may page-align the immutable data within memory. The runtime environment may further store the immutable within memory using self-referenced or self-relative pointers.

Abstract: Container images are managed in a clustered container host system with a shared storage device. Hosts of the system each include a virtualization software layer that supports execution of virtual machines (VMs), one or more of which are pod VMs that have implemented therein a container engine that supports execution of containers within the respective pod VM. A method of deploying containers includes determining, from pod objects published by a master device of the system and accessible by all hosts of the system, that a new pod VM is to be created, creating the new pod VM, and spinning up one or more containers in the new pod VM using images of containers previously spun up in another pod VM, wherein the images of the containers previously spun up in the other pod VM are stored in the storage device.

Abstract: Container images are fetched in a clustered container host system with a shared storage device. Fetching a first container image in a first virtual machine includes creating a first virtual disk in the shared storage device, storing an image of the first container in the first virtual disk, mounting the first virtual disk to the first virtual machine, and updating a metadata cache to associate the image of the first container to the first virtual disk. Fetching a second container image in a second virtual machine includes checking the metadata cache to determine that a portion of the image of the second container is stored in the first virtual disk, creating a second virtual disk in the shared storage device, adding a reference to the first virtual disk in a metadata of the second virtual disk, and mounting the second virtual disk to the second virtual machine.

Abstract: This disclosure describes a process for securely instantiating a virtual machine on a server cluster. The virtual machine just after instantiation has access to persistent storage that includes an encrypted region and lacks access to an encryption key configured to provide access to data stored within the encrypted region. The virtual machine receives a communication from a management server associated with the server cluster that includes the encryption key configured to provide access to the data stored within the encrypted region. After the virtual machine receives the encryption key, the server cluster runs services that depend upon the data stored within the encrypted region to operate after receiving the communication from the management server.
