Abstract: Workloads are scheduled on a common set of resources distributed across a cluster of hosts using at least two schedulers that operate independently. The resources include CPU, memory, network, and storage, and the workloads may be virtual objects, including VMs, and also operations including live migration of virtual objects, network file copy, reserving spare capacity for high availability restarts, and selecting hosts that are to go into maintenance mode. In addition, the at least two independent schedulers are assigned priorities such that the higher priority scheduler is executed to schedule workloads in its inventory on the common set of resources before the lower priority scheduler is executed to schedule workloads in its inventory on the common set of resources.

Abstract: The disclosure provides an approach for the dynamic configuration of virtualized objects. A virtual object may be associated with a desired state defining a first plurality of resources for allocating to the virtual object. The first plurality of resources correspond to one or more resource types. Techniques include determining that each of a plurality of hosts does not have sufficient available resources to allocate the first plurality of resources to the virtual object according to the desired state. Techniques include selecting, a first host of the plurality of hosts to run the virtual object. Techniques include allocating a second plurality of resources to the virtual object from the first host, wherein the second plurality of resources is less than the first plurality of resources, and running the virtual object in the first host.

Abstract: An example method of placing resources in domains in a virtualized computing system is described. A host cluster includes a virtualization layer executing on hardware platforms of the hosts. The method includes: determining, at a virtualization management server, definitions of the domains and resource groups, each of the domains including a plurality of placement targets, each of the resource groups including a plurality of the resources; receiving, at the virtualization management server from the user, affinity/anti-affinity rules that control placement of the resource groups within the domains; and placing, by the virtualization management server, the resource groups within the domains based on the affinity/anti-affinity rules.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for reallocating host resources in a virtualized computing environment when certain criteria have been met. In some embodiments, a system identifies a host disabling event. In view of the disabling event, the system identifies a resource for reallocation from a first host to a second host. Based on the identification, the computer system disassociates the identified resource's virtual identifier from the first host device and associates the virtual identifier with the second host device. Thus, the techniques disclosed significantly reduce a system's planned and unplanned downtime.

Abstract: An example method of scheduling a workload in a virtualized computing system including a host cluster having a virtualization layer directly executing on hardware platforms of hosts is described. The virtualization layer supports execution of virtual machines (VMs) and is integrated with an orchestration control plane. The method includes: receiving, at the orchestration control plane, a workload specification for the workload; selecting, at the orchestration control plane, a plurality of nodes for the workload based on the workload specification, each of the plurality of nodes implemented by a host of the hosts; selecting, by the orchestration control plane in cooperation with a virtualization management server managing the host cluster, a node of the plurality of nodes; and deploying, by the orchestration control plane in cooperation with the virtualization management server, the workload on a host in the host cluster implementing the selected node.

Abstract: An example method for an infrastructure management server to manage virtual infrastructure objects in a cluster is disclosed. The example method includes configuring the infrastructure management server to perform a function on the virtual infrastructure objects in the cluster, identifying a set of virtual infrastructure objects out of the virtual infrastructure objects that are tagged, identifying a customized policy associated with the first set of virtual infrastructure objects, and modifying the function based on the customized policy.

Abstract: An example method may include receiving a first GUI selection of a first management server corresponding to a first cluster of virtual infrastructure objects, receiving a second GUI selection of one or more first virtual infrastructure object tags to be assigned to at least one virtual infrastructure object from the first cluster of virtual infrastructure objects after a creation process of a first policy, wherein the first policy is configured to regulate the at least one virtual infrastructure object from the first cluster of virtual infrastructure objects with the one or more first virtual infrastructure object tags, receiving first real-time feedback associated with the first cluster of virtual infrastructure objects and the one or more first virtual infrastructure object tags from the first management server, and displaying a object count in a first GUI element supported by the configuration client.

Abstract: A method of managing virtual resources executing on a hardware platform that employs sensors to monitor the health of hardware resources of the hardware platform, includes filtering sensor data from the hardware platform and combining the sensor data with a fault model for the hardware platform to generate a health score, receiving an inventory that maps the virtual resources to the hardware resources of the hardware platform, receiving resource usage data describing use of the hardware resources of the hardware platform by the virtual resources, and generating resource utilization metrics from the resource usage data. The method includes receiving policy data specifying rules applicable to the inventory, determining a set of recommendations for changes to the inventory based on the health score, the resource usage data, and the policy data, and executing at least one recommendation to implement the changes to the inventory.
