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: A system and method of performing an incremental backup process are disclosed. In certain aspects, the method comprises retrieving a first metadata associated with a previous backup process of a component from a backup location in a storage. The method further comprises passing the first metadata to the component for determining incremental backup data of the component corresponding to a difference between current data of the component and data of the component associated with the previous backup process. The method further comprises receiving information indicative of the incremental backup data from the component. The method further comprises receiving, from the component, a second metadata associated with the incremental backup process. The method also comprises storing the incremental backup data and the second metadata as associated with the incremental backup process.

Abstract: An example method of configuring a cluster network for an application management system having virtual machines (VMs) executing on a virtualization layer in a cluster of hosts connected to a physical network, wherein the application management system is integrated with the virtualization layer, the method including: deploying, by a virtualization management server, a master server of the application management system prior to configuration of a cluster network that connects the VMs, the master server connected to the virtualization management server by a management network isolated from the cluster network; configuring, by the master server in cooperation with a network manager, the cluster network to connect the VMs; and connecting, by the master server in cooperation with the network manager, the cluster network to an edge node configured to support external ingress/egress for the cluster network.
