Abstract: Aspects of wireless communications for edge virtualization management are described. An edge hypervisor launches a wireless communications virtual machine (VM) that includes a guest operating system (OS). The guest OS provides drivers for a wireless adapter of the edge device. A component of the wireless communications VM configures network connection data that enables a wireless adapter to connect to a wireless network. The wireless communications VM executes a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) component. A wireless network connection is enabled using the edge hypervisor and the wireless communications virtual machine. The DHCP component identifies IP data for the wireless network connection.

Abstract: An example method of deploying a virtual machine (VM) in a software-defined data center (SDDC) includes: receiving a VM specification for the VM at an elastic control plane executing in a cluster of hosts having a virtualization layer; composing, by the elastic control plane in response to the VM specification, logical resources of the cluster managed by the virtualization layer; composing, by the elastic control plane, physical resources of the SDDC to add new hardware to the cluster; expanding, by the elastic control plane, the logical resources with new logical resources managed by the virtualization layer and backed by the new hardware; and deploying, by the elastic control plane, the VM in a virtual environment composed from the logical resources as expanded.

Abstract: A method of remediating configurations of a plurality of system services running in each of a plurality of hosts, wherein each of the hosts is configured with a virtualization software for supporting execution of virtual machines therein, includes the steps of: retrieving actual configurations of the system services, wherein the actual configurations are stored in accordance with a configuration schema of the system services and include a user configuration, which is a configuration initiated by the user, and a system configuration, which is a configuration initiated by the host in response to the user configuration; retrieving desired configurations of the system services from a desired configuration file; comparing each of the actual configurations with a corresponding one of the desired configurations; and upon determining that at least one actual configuration, which is not a system configuration, is different from a corresponding one of the desired configurations, replacing the at least one actual config

Abstract: An image of a virtualization software in a plurality of hosts is installed or upgraded by performing the steps of: in response to a user input, generating a software specification that specifies a desired state of the virtualization software; based on the software specification, preparing a desired image of the virtualization software by retrieving metadata of the desired state of the virtualization software and determining components that make up the desired state of the virtualization software; and instructing each of the hosts to install the desired image of the virtualization software or upgrade a current image of the virtualization software to the desired image of the virtualization software. One of the components defines a set of payloads for a core kernel of the virtualization software.

Abstract: Disclosed are various approaches to anticipating future resource consumption based on user sessions. A message comprising a prediction of a future number of concurrent user sessions to be hosted by a virtual machine within a predefined future interval of time is received. It is then determined whether the future number of concurrent user sessions will cause the virtual machine to cross a predefined resource threshold during the predefined future interval of time. Then, a message is sent to a first hypervisor hosting the virtual machine to migrate the virtual machine to a second hypervisor.

Abstract: Disclosed are various examples of providing cross platform accelerator remoting between complex instruction set computer (CISC) components and reduced instruction set computer (RISC) components of a computing environment. An accelerator remoting server receives accelerator instructions executable by a locally installed accelerator device and provides the accelerator instructions to the accelerator device. The accelerator remoting server transmits accelerator results to an accelerator remoting client to complete the cross platform or platform agnostic accelerator remoting.

Abstract: Users of a client computer having non-conventional input devices interact with a host computing platform with the same user experience as if he or she was operating the client computer natively. This is achieved by having the non-conventional input devices of the client device appear local to the applications that are running on the host platform, even though the host computing platform may not be equipped with drivers for the non-conventional input devices.

Abstract: A method for log analysis includes receiving log outputs from an application and generating a log file by recording the log outputs in the log file and, for each log output in the log file, attaching a log context record to the log output. The log context record is encoded with a call stack having stack frames and one or more variables in the stack frames. The method further includes grouping the log outputs in the log file based on their log context records.
