  • Patent number: 10824453
    Abstract: Systems and methods improve performance and resource-efficiency of Just-in-Time (JIT) compilation in a hypervisor-based virtualized computing environment. A user attempts to launch an application that has been previously compiled by a JIT compiler into an intermediate, platform-independent format. A JIT accelerator selects a unique function signature that identifies the application and the user's target platform. If the signature cannot be found in a repository, indicating that the application has never been run on the target platform, the accelerator generates and stores the requested executable program in shared memory and saves the signature in the repository. The system then returns to the user a pointer to the stored platform-specific executable. If multiple users of the same platform request the same application, the system recognizes an affinity among those requests identified by their shared signature, and provides each user a pointer to the same previously stored, shared executable.

  • Patent number: 10460113
    Abstract: A method, a computer program product, and a computer system for a security fix of a container in a VM (virtual machine) environment. A computer detects a container in a container environment, determines whether the container has a security issue performs live migration of the container to a created VM, fixes the security issue of the container in the created VM, and determines whether the security issue is fixed. In response to determining that the security issue is fixed, the computer performs live migration of the created VM to the container environment.

  • Patent number: 9923867
    Abstract: A first computing system may identify a security threat located at least at a first virtual server. The first virtual server may be within a second computing system. The first computing system may provision, in response to the identifying, a first firewall associated with the first virtual server. The first firewall may include a rule to deny all communication transmitted from the first virtual server. The first computing system may execute, in response to the provisioning, a first repair operation to repair the first virtual server.
