  • DECLARATIVE VM MANAGEMENT FOR A CONTAINER ORCHESTRATOR IN A VIRTUALIZED COMPUTING SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20230342168
    Abstract: An example virtualized computing system includes a host cluster having a virtualization layer executing on hardware platforms of hosts, the virtualization layer supporting execution of virtual machines (VMs), the VMs including pod VMs and native VMs, the pod VMs including container engines supporting execution of containers in the pod VMs, the native VMs including applications executing on guest operating systems; and an orchestration control plane integrated with the virtualization layer, the orchestration control plane including a master server having a pod VM controller to manage lifecycles of the pod VMs and a native VM controller to manage lifecycles of the native VMs.
    Type: Application
