Patent number: 11775354Abstract: A system for reducing overlay network overhead includes a memory, a processor in communication with the memory, a first container and a second container running on a first host, and a container scheduler executing on the processor. Each of the first container and second container expose a network service port(s). The container scheduler executes on the processor to assign a network complexity weight to the first host. The network complexity weight is based on a quantity of network service ports that the first container and the second container expose. The container scheduler also filters hosts based on resource availability corresponding to each host and ranks the hosts based on a respective network complexity weight corresponding to each host. Additionally, the container scheduler dispatches a third container to a second host based on the resource availability and network complexity weight corresponding to the second host.Type: GrantFiled: January 21, 2022Date of Patent: October 3, 2023Assignee: Red Hat, Inc.Inventors: Huamin Chen, Jay Vyas

Patent number: 11777831Abstract: Techniques are described herein that are capable of performing an aggregation-based determination of resiliency of a cloud computing service to chaos events. Chaos events are executed against a cloud computing service during a time frame that includes multiple time periods. For each chaos event, service health indexes (SHIs) that correspond to the time periods are calculated. Each SHI indicates an extent to which indicators, which represent respective measurements of performance of the cloud computing service during the respective time period, satisfy respective criteria. The SHIs for each chaos event are analyzed to provide a respective resiliency score. At least some of the resiliency scores of the respective chaos events are aggregated to provide an aggregated resiliency score, which represents resiliency of the cloud computing service to the chaos events.Type: GrantFiled: January 10, 2022Date of Patent: October 3, 2023Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: David Dominic Anderson, Piyush Gupta, Jeremy Michael Bares, Weili Zhong McClenahan, Craig Henry Wittenberg, Christopher Grant Ashton, Ritchie Nicholas Hughes
