Abstract: Some embodiments of the invention provide a method for connecting deployed machines in a set of one or more software-defined datacenters (SDDCs) to a virtual private cloud (VPC) in an availability zone (AZ). The method deploys network plugin agents (e.g. listening agents) on multiple host computers and configures the network plugin agents to receive notifications of events related to the deployment of network elements from a set of compute deployment agents executing on the particular deployed network plugin agent's host computer. The method, in some embodiments, is performed by a network manager that receives notifications from the deployed network plugin agents regarding events relating to the deployed machines and, in response to the received notifications, configures network elements to connect one or more sets of the deployed machines.

Abstract: The disclosure herein describes managing the migration of nodes between hosts in a distributed computing system. Container statistics data is received by a scheduler from a plurality of hosts, wherein the container statistics data includes data indicating quantities of containers on nodes of the plurality of hosts. A first host of the plurality of hosts that includes a quantity of containers on associated nodes that exceeds a container per host threshold is identified and an excess container quantity is calculated. At least one node of the first host is selected for migration. A second host is identified that has container capacity that meets or exceeds the quantity of containers on the selected at least one node. The selected at least one node is migrated to the second host, whereby the quantity of containers on nodes of the first host is reduced to less than the container per host threshold.
