  • Publication number: 20250036453
    Abstract: Disclosed are a method and apparatus for optimizing server system interrupts, a device and a medium, which relate to the field of servers. The method is applied to a server system, and comprises: when a peripheral driver of a kernel space monitors an interrupt request signal sent by a hardware peripheral, reading a hardware event queue in the hardware peripheral, so as to acquire a target hardware event in the hardware event queue; then, converting the target hardware event into a target software event by using the peripheral driver, and writing the target software event into a preset global event queue; reading the target software event in the global event queue by means of a user space, and forwarding the target software event to a corresponding target service process by means of the user space, such that the target service process processes the target.

  • Patent number: 11915025
    Abstract: When containers run in a guest operating system of a virtual machine running on the host computer system, the containers communicate with each other via ports of each container and a network. The ports of each container stay constant, but the virtual machine in which they run may change its IP address on the network when it is power-cycled. To avoid losing connection to the ports of the containers, a record table that associates static identifiers, such as MAC addresses, of the virtual machine with the container ports is maintained. The static identifiers of the virtual machines do not change and provide a way of identifying the virtual machine on which the virtual container was running before it was powered off. When the virtual machine is powered on, the linkage between the container port and the network can be re-established using the record table.

  • Publication number: 20230281033
    Abstract: The disclosure provides for integrating virtual machine (VM) and host networking, forwarding port data and occupation status to host and VM endpoints. Examples synchronize, by a host agent, port reservations with a guest agent on a first VM on the host; receive an indication that a VM port on the first VM is occupied; based at least on receiving the indication that the VM port is occupied, update the port reservations to include that a host port corresponding to the VM port is occupied; receive incoming external traffic on the host port; and based at least on the port reservations and receiving the incoming external traffic on the host port, route the incoming external traffic to the VM port on the first VM. VM-based application behavior thus appears more similar to that of native applications.

  • Patent number: 11620146
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are embodiments for committing changes of an image of a virtual machine-based container running on a host computer system. A starting image for a container is obtained from a guest starting folder, and while the container runs the starting image changes to the image made by the running container are captured in a guest folder that is union mounted with the guest starting folder. Another union folder, which is the union of a new host folder and the starting folder, contains the changed image which can be used for the container or transferred to a different container.

  • Publication number: 20220229651
    Abstract: Described herein are systems, methods, and software to manage the updates for a container runtime. In one example, a host identifies a request to update a container runtime from a first version to a second version for a container executing in a virtual machine. The host further initiates execution of a second container in a second virtual machine with the second version of the container runtime, wherein the second container uses the same root filesystem as the first container. The host also updates any required networking configurations to direct communications to the second container over the first container and stops execution of the first container.

  • Publication number: 20220222223
    Abstract: Described herein are a system and method for combining folders in a host operating system lacking a facility for performing the combining. A helper virtual machine (VM) is formed and runs a guest operating system with a facility for combining folders such as a union mount facility. The host operating system also runs a host/guest file-sharing server to share folders instead of copying them. The file-sharing server allows the VM to access host folders, perform the combination using the union mount facility, and then allows the host operating system to access the results as a shared union mount folder in the host. Any changes to the shared union mount folder in the host are automatically processed by the union mount facility in the VM and then reflected to a folder in the host operating system.

  • Patent number: 11106380
    Abstract: Data storage of workloads is migrated from a local computing environment to a cloud computing environment. The workloads are first executed in a runtime environment that have been deployed within a first virtual machine running in the local computing environment, according to a blueprint that defines a data storage path for the workloads. The data storage of the workloads is migrated by copying contents of a first file, which corresponds to a virtual disk of the first virtual machine, to a second file, modifying the blueprint to change the data storage path to a path that specifies a file path to the second file, and deploying a runtime environment within a second virtual machine running in the cloud computing environment, according to the modified blueprint. After transitioning the data storage of the workloads in this manner, the workloads are executed in the runtime environment deployed within the second virtual machine.

  • Patent number: 11099881
    Abstract: A method and system are provided for restoring a virtual machine. A snapshot of the virtual machine is taken where the snapshot includes stored configuration information regarding a hosted network used by the virtual machine. In one embodiment, the virtual machine is restored, and a hosted network that has a type similar to the hosted network for the virtual machine is found. In another embodiment, a new hosted network having a type of the hosted network for the virtual machine is created. The vNICs of the virtual machine are modified to operate with the similar or newly created hosted network. If the hosted network for the virtual machine is a custom hosted network, then a similar or new hosted network is found or constructed having the same parameters as the custom hosted network.

  • Patent number: 10789088
    Abstract: An example method is provided for a first host running a client software to provision a virtual machine on the first host in a virtualized computing environment including one or more hosts. The method may include generating a license key message, transmitting the license key message to a second host via a peer-to-peer (P2P) network including the first host and the second host, receiving a determination of the second host whether the virtual machine can be provisioned on the first host via the P2P network, and deciding whether to provision the virtual machine on the first host based on the determination. Some example license key messages may include a license key and a seat number and a sharable level indicator associated with the license key.
