  • Quality of service enforcement and data security for containers accessing storage
    Patent number: 10664415
    Abstract: Systems and methods for Quality of Service (QoS) enforcement and data security for containers accessing storage. An example method may comprise: receiving an input/output (I/O) call initiated by a container running on a host computer system to request data from a storage device; translating the I/O call into a device emulator call to a device emulator emulating a storage device; sending the device emulator call to the device emulator; and receiving, from the device emulator, a response comprising the data retrieved from the storage device.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 7, 2017
    Date of Patent: May 26, 2020
    Assignee: Red Hat, Inc.

  • Quality of service enforcement and data security for containers accessing storage
    Patent number: 9697144
    Abstract: A processing device is to receive a block input/output (I/O) call in a first format from a container hosted on a host machine to request data on a storage device and translate the block I/O call from the first format into a device emulator call in a second format. The second format is compatible with a device emulator on the host machine. The device emulator emulates a block storage device for the container. The processing device is to send the device emulator call in the second format to the device emulator, and receive, from the device emulator, a response that include the data on the storage device for the container.
