Publication number: 20210389967Abstract: A virtual network interface controller (NIC) associated with a virtual machine in a cloud computing network is configured to support one or more network containers that encapsulate networking configuration data and policies that are applicable to a specific discrete computing workload to thereby enable the virtual machine to simultaneously belong to multiple virtual networks using the single NIC. The network containers supported by the NIC can be associated with a single tenant to enable additional flexibility such quickly switching between virtual networks and support pre-provisioning of additional computing resources with associated networking policies for rapid deployment. The network containers can also be respectively associated with different tenants so that the single NIC can support multi-tenant services on the same virtual machine.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 27, 2021Publication date: December 16, 2021Inventors: Abhishek SHUKLA, Abhishek Ellore SREENATH, Neha AGGARWAL, Naveen PRABHAT, Nisheeth SRIVASTAVA, Xinyan ZAN, Ashish BHARGAVA, Parag SHARMA, Rishabh TEWARI

Patent number: 11189027Abstract: Disclosed subject matter relates to Peripheral Blood Smear (PBS) that determines an area to be scanned in PBS for analysis. A PBS analysing system captures a focused image at each of plurality of positions in the PBS and determines Quality Indicators (QIs) in focused image. Further, a region is identified in PBS where QIs of focused image satisfy predefined QI threshold limits, as a monolayer region of PBS and determines an initiation point in monolayer region based on cell count value and co-ordinates of each of the plurality of positions located in the monolayer region. Finally, the area to be scanned in monolayer region is determined based on the initiation point and a predefined scan pattern. Determining the area to be scanned yields accurate and faster results.Type: GrantFiled: May 15, 2018Date of Patent: November 30, 2021Assignee: Sigtuple Technologies Private LimitedInventors: Shreepad Potadar, Dheeraj Mundhra, Abhishek Shukla, Raghu G, Amrutha Muralidharan, Deepak Kapoor, Vijay Muralidharan, Nivedita Muthusubramanian, Bharath Cheluvaraju, Apurv Anand, Tathagato Rai Dastidar, Rohit Kumar Pandey

Publication number: 20210306313Abstract: The disclosed system implements techniques to secure communications for injecting a workload (e.g., a container) into a virtual network hosted by a cloud-based platform. Based on a delegation instruction received from a tenant, a virtual network of the tenant can connect to and execute a workload via a virtual machine that is part of a virtual network that belongs to a resource provider. To secure calls and authorize access to the tenant's virtual network, authentication information provided with a call from the virtual network of the resource provider may need to match authorization information made available via a publication service of the cloud-based platform. Additionally or alternatively, an identifier of a NIC used to make a call may need to correspond to a registered name of the resource provider for the call to be authorized. These checks provide increased security by preventing unauthorized calls to the tenant's virtual network.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 10, 2021Publication date: September 30, 2021Inventors: Abhijeet Kumar, Aanand RAMACHANDRAN, Jayesh KUMARAN, David Michael BRUMLEY, Rishabh TEWARI, Nisheeth SRIVASTAVA, Sushant SHARMA, Deepak BANSAL, Abhishek Ellore SREENATH, Parag SHARMA, Abhishek SHUKLA, Avijit GUPTA

Patent number: 11099873Abstract: A method to provide network connectivity to a virtual machine hosted on a server computer system includes detecting a change in a configuration of a software-defined network to which the server computer system provides access; issuing a network configuration update (NCU) for consumption by the virtual machine, the NCU including a data structure reflecting the change in the configuration; and providing a link-state notification (LSN) to a virtual network interface card of the virtual machine pursuant to the change in the configuration, the LSN including data indicating a state of network connectivity of the virtual machine. Receipt of the LSN triggers a dynamic host-configuration protocol (DHCP) handshake by the virtual machine; the NCU is received by the virtual machine pursuant to the DHCP handshake.Type: GrantFiled: January 4, 2019Date of Patent: August 24, 2021Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Abhishek Ellore Sreenath, Madhan Sivakumar, Abhishek Shukla, Rishabh Tewari

Publication number: 20210240514Abstract: The disclosed technology is generally directed to virtual machines. In one example of the technology, a network change from a first virtual network to a second virtual network is reconfigured for a first virtual machine that is executing on a first virtual machine host. The reconfiguring includes the following. In the first virtual machine host, a mapping change from the first virtual network to the second virtual network is configured by reprogramming drivers in the first virtual machine host for route mapping for the second virtual network. A Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) retrigger is caused without rebooting the first virtual machine. A configuration file is provided to the first virtual machine. The configuration file includes user-specific networking settings. The first virtual machine is reconfigured in accordance with the user-specific networking settings.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 19, 2021Publication date: August 5, 2021Inventors: Sushant Pramod REWASKAR, Md.

Patent number: 10999244Abstract: The techniques described herein enable a private connectivity solution between a virtual network of a service consumer and a virtual network of a service provider in a cloud-based platform. The techniques map a service (e.g., one or more workloads or containers) executing in the virtual network of the service provider into the virtual network of the service consumer. The mapping uses network address translation (NAT) that is performed by the cloud-based infrastructure. As a result of the techniques described herein, a public Internet Protocol (IP) address does not need to be used to establish a connection thereby alleviating privacy and/or security concerns for the virtual networks of the service provider and/or the service consumer that are hosted by the cloud-based platform.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2019Date of Patent: May 4, 2021Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Sumeet Mittal, Abhishek Shukla, Rishabh Tewari, Qiming Chen, Harish Kumar Chandrappa, Pranjal Shrivastava, Anitha Adusumilli, Parag Sharma, Abhishek Ellore Sreenath

Publication number: 20210019167Abstract: A hybrid state for a virtual machine (VM) in a cloud computing system enables a VM to communicate with other VMs that belong to a virtual network (VNET VMs) while maintaining connectivity with other VMs that do not belong to the virtual network (non-VNET VMs). A non-VNET VM can be transitioned to a hybrid VM that operates in a hybrid state. The hybrid VM can be assigned a private virtual IP address (VNET address) for communication with other VNET VMs. The hybrid VM can continue to use a physical IP address to communicate with other non-VNET VMs. In this way, the hybrid VM is able to maintain connectivity with other non-VNET VMs during and after migration to the VNET. A network stack can be configured to process data packets that are destined for non-VNET VMs differently from data packets that are destined for VNET VMs.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 25, 2019Publication date: January 21, 2021Inventors: Vishal TANEJA, Abhishek SHUKLA, Parag SHARMA, Xinyan ZAN, Kaihua XU
