Abstract: A distributed computing application is described that provides a highly elastic and multi-tenant platform for Hadoop applications and other workloads running in a virtualized environment. Multiple instances of a distributed computing framework, such as Hadoop, may be executed concurrently. A centralized manager detects when contention for computing resources, such as memory and CPU, causes tasks to run slower on VMs executing on a given host, and scales up or scales down a cluster based on the detected resource contention.

Abstract: Embodiments support instant forking of virtual machines (VMs) and state customization. A computing device initiates execution of a first group of services (e.g., identity-independent) in a first VM. A second VM is instantiated from the first VM. The second VM shares memory and storage with the first VM. The computing device customizes the second VM based on configuration data associated with the second VM. A second group of services (e.g., identity-dependent) starts executing on the second VM after configuring the identity of the second VM. Customizing the second VM includes configuring one or more identities of the second VM. In some embodiments, a domain identity is selected from a pool of previously-created identities and applied to the second VM, before bootup completes on the second VM.

Abstract: Techniques for handling inheritance of disk state when forking virtual machines (VMs) are provided. In one embodiment, a computer system can receive a request to fork a child VM from a parent VM. In response, the computer system can take a disk snapshot of the parent VM, where the disk snapshot results in a child disk for the child VM, where the child disk is a delta disk that points to a parent disk of the parent VM, and where the parent disk serves as the parent VM's current running point. The computer system can then determine whether the parent disk is a delta disk. If so, the computer system can copy the content of the parent disk to the child disk, traverse a disk hierarchy associated with the parent disk to identify a base disk above the parent disk in the hierarchy, and cause the child disk to point directly to the base disk.

Abstract: Application resource scheduler module is provided to achieve cooperative application workload scheduling for a consolidated virtual environment. The application resource scheduler aids an application workload scheduler that is part of a distributed computing application, such as Hadoop, to achieve a specified relative priority of the application workload virtual machines to other virtual machines in the virtual environment. The application resource scheduler assists in achieving cooperative workload scheduling by revising the amount of resources that the application workload scheduler sees as available and by setting resource controls for the virtual machines of the distributed computing application to influence the resources the virtual machines receive from the underlying consolidated virtual environment.

Abstract: Embodiments include an infrastructure shared among cloud services that supports fast provisioning of virtual machines (VMs). A set of powered-on parent VM templates and a set of powered-off child VMs are maintained by the infrastructure in a hierarchy. The child VMs are instantiated from the parent VM templates, and pre-registered to a cloud operating system in some embodiments. In response to requests from the cloud services for the child VMs, where the requests specify child VM configurations, child VMs from the set of powered-off child VMs are selected and customized based on the child VM configurations, and then deployed for use by the cloud services. In some embodiments, the fast provisioning of VMs is supported by forking operations in the infrastructure.
