Abstract: An example method of page sharing in a host computer having virtualization software that supports execution of a plurality of virtualized computing instances includes identifying, by the virtualization software, duplicate memory pages in system memory of the host computer. The method further includes sharing a memory page of the duplicate memory pages among the plurality of virtualized computing instances. The method further includes monitoring reads by a first virtualized computing instance targeting the shared memory page. The method further includes creating a private copy of the shared memory page for the first virtualized computing instance in response to the reads satisfying a threshold read pattern.

Abstract: Memory pages that are allocated to a memory consumer and continue to be accessed by the memory consumer are included in a free list, so that they may be immediately allocated to another memory consumer as needed during the course of normal operation without preserving the original contents of the memory page. When a memory page in the free list is accessed to perform a read, a generation number associated with the memory page is compared with a stored copy. If the two match, the read is performed on the memory page. If the two do not match, the read is not performed on the memory page.

Abstract: Processes for managing computing processes within a plurality of data centers configured to provide a cloud computing environment are described. An exemplary process includes executing a process on a first host of a plurality of hosts. When the process is executing on the first host, a first network identifier associated with the plurality of hosts is not a network identifier of a pool of network identifiers associated with the cloud computing environment and first and second route tables respectively corresponding to first and second data centers of the plurality of data centers associate the first network identifier with the first host. The exemplary process further includes detecting an event associated with the process. In response to detecting the event associated with the process, the first and second route tables are respectively updated to associate the first network identifier with a second host of the plurality of hosts.

Abstract: Examples perform asynchronous encrypted live migration of virtual machines (VM) from a source host to a destination host. The encryption of the memory blocks of the VM is performed optionally before a request for live migration is received or after said request. The more resource intensive decryption of the memory blocks of the VM is performed by the destination host in a resource efficient manner, reducing the downtime apparent to users. Some examples contemplate decrypting memory blocks of the transmitted VM on-demand and opportunistically, according to a pre-determined rate, or in accordance with parameters established by a user.

Abstract: A plurality of virtual machines (VMs) is migrated from a source group to a destination group in such as way as to achieve consistency and either availability or group preservation. Execution of VMs in the source group is selectively delayed during state migration so that memory transfer of all the VMs in the group will converge roughly at the same time. After VM state transfer to the destination group, execution switch-over is coordinated using different handshake and acknowledgement messages, passed either through a “leader” VM in each group, or directly between source-destination VM pairs.

Abstract: A virtual machine (VM) is migrated from a source host to a destination host in a virtualized computing system, the VM having a plurality of virtual central processing units (CPUs). The method includes copying, by VM migration software executing in the source host and the destination host, memory of the VM from the source host to the destination host by installing, at the source host, write traces spanning all of the memory and then copying the memory from the source host to the destination host over a plurality of iterations; and performing switch-over, by the VM migration software, to quiesce the VM in the source host and resume the VM in the destination host. The VM migration software installs write traces using less than all of the virtual CPUs, and using trace granularity larger than a smallest page granularity.

Abstract: The disclosure provides an approach for dynamically reprogramming network and network infrastructure in response to VM mobility. The approach provides a hypervisor layer that can observe changes in VM-host relationships and reprogram the associated network and network infrastructure to maintain network communication. The hypervisor layer notifies an elastic network interface of a new IP address to include within its whitelist in response to VM migration to that elastic network interface.

Abstract: Examples perform live migration of VMs from a source host to a destination host using destructive consistency breaking operations. The disclosure makes a record of a consistency group of VMs on storage at a source host as a fail-back in the event of failure. The source VMs are live migrated to the destination host, disregarding consistency during live migration, and potentially violating the recovery point objective. After live migration of all of the source VMs, consistency is automatically restored at the destination host and the live migration is declared a success.

Abstract: A managed object of a virtualized computing environment, which contains the runtime state of a parent virtual machine (VM) and can be placed in any host of the virtualized computing environment, is used for instantly cloning child VMs off that managed object. The managed object is not an executable object (i.e., the state of the managed object is static) and thus it does not require most of the overhead memory associated with a VM. As a result, this managed object can support instant cloning of VMs with a reduction in memory, storage, and CPU overhead relative to when a parent template VM is used.
