Abstract: Examples described herein include systems and methods for setting virtual machines (“VMs”) to desired configurations while the virtual machines are running. In one example, a user can select a VM and a desired configuration. An agent can then set an attribute of the virtual machine to indicate that on guest operation system (“OS”) reboot of the VM, the VM will enter BIOS mode. The agent can also store the desired configuration in the database based on authenticating the user. When the VM reboots at a future time, the attribute can cause the VM to enter BIOS setup. The agent can be notified and can retrieve the desired configuration from a database using an identifier for the VM. Then the agent can apply the desired configuration to the VM during BIOS setup with a system process that does not require further user authentication.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for providing a graphical user interface (“GUI”) for migrating workloads in a system. The GUI can display the locations of edge devices in the system and workloads running on the edge devices. A user can drag a workload from one edge device to another in the GUI, and in response the system can schedule the workload to be migrated accordingly. Before the migration is performed, the GUI can calculate a change in computing resource usage at both edge devices. The GUI can display the usage data and prompt the user to confirm the migration. If the user confirms, the workload can be deployed at the target edge device and removed from the source edge device.
