Abstract: Methods, systems and computer program products for deploying a virtualization system onto cloud computing infrastructure. Virtual machines of a virtualization system are deployed onto computing nodes that are interconnected via a cloud provider's networking infrastructure. When migrating a virtual machine from a source computing node to a target computing node that is also interconnected to the cloud provider's networking infrastructure, the addressing of the to-be-migrated virtual machine changes. Dynamically-updated media access control translation tables are maintained at the computing nodes. The media access control translation tables are populated with cloud provider media access control addresses received from the cloud provider. A virtual switch at each computing node modifies incoming and outgoing packets of a to-be-migrated virtual machine based on contents of that node's media access control translation table.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for providing method for providing an event timer for event synchronization across Kubernetes clusters. The event timer is configured to provide event synchronization on behalf of microservice instances in the cloud computing environment. In response to a request for an event timer for a timed event, it is determined whether the requested event timer has been started for a second microservice instance. If the requested event timer has been started, a state of the requested event timer is sent to the first microservice instance If the requested event timer has not been started, the requested event timer is instantiated, and a state of the instantiated event timer is stored in a database. The instantiated event timer is independent of the first and second microservice instances. In response to an expiration of the event timer, a single callback for processing of the event is generated.

Abstract: Examples described herein relate to a switch, when operational, that is configured to receive in a packet an indicator of number of remaining bytes in a flow and to selectively send a congestion message based on a fullness level of a buffer and indication of remainder of the flow. In some examples, the indicator is received in an Internet Protocol version 4 consistent Options header field or Internet Protocol version 6 consistent Flow label field. In some examples, the congestion message comprises one or more of: an Explicit Congestion Control Notification (ECN), priority-based flow control (PFC), and/or in-band telemetry (INT). In some examples, to selectively send a congestion message to a transmitter based on a fullness level of a buffer that stored the packet and the number of remaining bytes in flow, the switch is to determine whether the buffer is large enough to store the remaining bytes in the flow.
