  • Nested hypervisor to run virtual machines on public clouds
    Patent number: 10747562
    Abstract: An example method of provisioning a virtual machine in a cloud system includes: receiving a request to provision the virtual machine in the cloud system; provisioning a first virtual machine managed by a hypervisor executing on a host computer in the cloud system, the hypervisor allocating resources to the first virtual machine; provisioning a nested hypervisor in the first virtual machine; and provisioning the virtual machine to execute on the nested hypervisor without re-virtualizing the resources allocated by the hypervisor to the nested hypervisor.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 5, 2017
    Date of Patent: August 18, 2020
    Assignee: VMware, Inc.
    Inventors: Irfan Ulla Khan, Halesh Sadashiv, Jayalekshmy Nair, Keerthi B Kumar
  • Efficient VM migration across cloud using catalog aware compression
    Patent number: 10210011
    Abstract: Techniques for migrating a VM in a hybrid cloud computing system are provided. The techniques include identifying a similar VM at the destination, comparing dictionaries for the VM to be transmitted and the similar VM, and compressing the VM based on the comparison. After transmitting the compressed VM, the destination decompresses the VM using the dictionary of the similar VM. Dictionaries associate chunks of VM data with hashes of those chunks. This allows replacement of chunks with the hashes, thereby compressing the VM for transmission.
