Abstract: An example virtualized computing system includes: a host cluster having hosts and a virtualization layer executing on hardware platforms of the hosts, the virtualization layer supporting execution of virtual machines (VMs); an orchestration control plane integrated with the virtualization layer, the orchestration control plane including a master server executing in a first VM of the VMs; guest cluster infrastructure software (GCIS) executing in the master server, the GCIS configured to create a set of objects defining a container orchestration cluster, and manage lifecycles of second VMs of the VMs based on state of the set of objects; and guest software executing in the second VMs to implement the container orchestration cluster as a guest cluster of the host cluster, the guest software having components that interface with the GCIS.

Abstract: Examples provide a method of migrating a multi-process virtual machine (VM) from at least one source host to at least one destination host in a virtualized computing system. The method includes: copying, by VM migration software executing in the at least one source host, guest physical memory of the multi-process VM to the at least one destination host; obtaining, by the VM migration software, at least one device checkpoint for at least one device supporting the multi-process VM, the multi-process VM including a user-level monitor (ULM) and at least one user-level driver (ULD), the at least one ULD interfacing with the at least one device, the ULM providing a virtual environment for the multi-process VM; transmitting the at least one device checkpoint to the at least one destination host; restoring the at least one device checkpoint; and resuming the multi-process VM on the at least one destination host.

Abstract: An example method of checking compatibility of a guest cluster executing as a virtual extension of a host cluster having an orchestration control plane managing the guest cluster, the host cluster being part of a software defined data center (SDDC), is described. The method includes: receiving, at the orchestration control plane, a guest cluster infrastructure software (GCIS) compatibility document that specifies what a GCIS of the orchestration control plane requires and offers; receiving a request for a compatibility check on the guest cluster with respect to the GCIS; obtaining, at the orchestration control plane in response to the request, an SDDC compatibility documents for the SDDC and a guest cluster compatibility document for the guest cluster; computing, at the orchestration control plane, the compatibility check in response to the GCIS compatibility document, the SDDC compatibility document, and the guest cluster compatibility document; and transmitting a result of the compatibility check from the orchestration control plane to a virtual infrastructure (VI) control plane of the SDDC.
