Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed for managing compute resources in a computing environment. Disclosed examples are to select an offering workload in a computing environment to lend at least one resource to a needy workload in the computing environment; Disclosed examples are also to cause a host associated with the offering workload to at least one of (i) instantiate a first virtual machine when the host is implemented with a second virtual machine or (ii) instantiate a first container when the host is implemented with a second container. Disclosed examples are further to assign the first virtual machine or the first container to the needy workload.

Abstract: Disclosed are various examples for network management in hyper-converged infrastructures. In one example, tagged data is received by a switch. The tagged data includes a header that identifies that the tagged data is for replication. The switch generates replicated versions of the tagged data. The replicated versions of the tagged data can include modified header data. The replicated versions of the tagged data are transmitted to a plurality of hosts within the hyper-converged infrastructure.

Abstract: Memory management in a computer system may include allocating memory pages from a physical memory of the computer system to applications executing on the computer system. The memory pages may be associated with memory management tags. One or more memory pages may be identified for processing from the physical memory based on the memory management tags that the memory pages are associated with. The processed memory pages may then be designated as un-allocated memory pages for subsequent allocation to applications executing on the computing system.

Abstract: Embodiments provide data in-flight (DIF) services to software applications such as virtual machines (VMs) at an application level without requiring modification to established storage protocols. In exemplary embodiments, a software application is associated with a DIF services policy indicating one or more DIF services to apply to the software application. Data transmitted by the software application to a destination is tagged based on the DIF services policy associated with the software application and transmitted to the destination.

Abstract: This document describes techniques for efficient data deployment for a parallel data processing system. In one embodiment, a virtualization platform running a parallel processing application that includes one or more virtual data nodes receives a first command to write a data block to a storage device. The platform then determines whether the first command was sent by a first virtual data node. If the first command was sent by a first virtual data node, the platform then 1) writes, the data block to a first location in the storage device; 2) returns the first location to the first virtual data node and 3) determines whether the data should be replicated. If the data should be replicated, the platform instructs the storage device to make a copy of the data block to a second location in the storage device and storing the second location in a tracking structure.

Abstract: A virtualization platform can discover capabilities of data devices connected in a virtual infrastructure. The virtualization platform allows a user (e.g., system administrator) to specify a policy profile for a virtual machine in terms of performance and data handling parameters. The virtualization platform can provision a virtual machine comprising data devices having a combined capability that matches the policy profile. Enforcement of a policy profile can be made when I/O is performed by a virtual machine.

Abstract: The instant disclosure describes embodiments of a system and method for migrating virtual machine (VM)-specific content cached in a solid state drive (SSD) attached to an original host. During operation, the original host receives event indicating an upcoming migration of a VM to a destination host. In response, the original host transmits a set of metadata associated with the SSD cache to the destination host. The metadata indicates a number of data blocks stored in the SSD cache, thereby allowing the destination host to pre-fetch data blocks specified in the metadata from a storage shared by the original host and the destination host. Subsequently, the original host receives a power-off event for the VM, and transmits a dirty block list to the destination. The dirty block list specifies one or more data blocks that have changed since the transmission of the metadata.
