Patent number: 11343161Abstract: A method of deploying a network service across multiple data centers, each having a cloud management server running a cloud computing management software to provision virtual infrastructure resources thereof for a first tenant among a plurality of tenants, includes maintaining for each data center static inventory data that indicate virtual infrastructure resources that are available thereat to the first tenant, identifying, in response to a network service request for the first tenant, a virtual network function associated with the network service, generating commands to deploy the virtual network function based on a descriptor of the virtual network function, selecting one of the data centers in which the virtual network function is to be deployed based on the descriptor of the virtual network function and the static inventory data of each data center, and issuing the commands to the selected data center to deploy the virtual network function.Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 2020Date of Patent: May 24, 2022Assignee: VMware, Inc.Inventors: Sachin Thakkar, Allwyn M. Sequeira, Serge Maskalik, Debashis Basak, Mark Bryan Whipple

Patent number: 11095709Abstract: A hybrid cloud computing system having a private data center and a public cloud computing system is discussed. The private data center is managed by a first organization. The public cloud computing system is managed by a second organization, and the first organization is a tenant in the public cloud computing system. The hybrid cloud computing system is configured to generate a mapping that contextualizes virtual objects migrated between the private data center and the public cloud computing system based on the objects' location. Such a mapping is maintained to expose the true hybridity of the hybrid cloud rather than present two distinct views of a private data center (or private cloud) and a public cloud.Type: GrantFiled: August 12, 2019Date of Patent: August 17, 2021Assignee: VMware, Inc.Inventors: Sachin Thakkar, Debashis Basak, Serge Maskalik, Mark Bryan Whipple, Aarti Kumar Gupta

Patent number: 10382532Abstract: A method for managing an application executing in a computing system is disclosed as including a private cloud operated by a first organization and a multi-tenant public cloud of which the first organization is one of the tenants. The method comprises instantiating a first virtual object in the private cloud and instantiating a second virtual object in the public cloud for executing the application cooperatively with the first virtual object. Mapping associated with the first virtual object is generated, wherein the mapping comprises a first identifier having a context of the private cloud and a second identifier having a context of the public cloud. The method further includes detecting migration of the first or second virtual object such that both of the first and second virtual objects are instantiated in a single one of the private and public clouds and updating the mapping to reflect the migration.Type: GrantFiled: August 1, 2017Date of Patent: August 13, 2019Assignee: VMware, Inc.Inventors: Sachin Thakkar, Debashis Basak, Serge Maskalik, Mark Bryan Whipple, Aarti Kumar Gupta

Patent number: 10235209Abstract: Techniques for executing jobs in a hybrid cloud computing system. A job defines multiple states and tasks for transitioning between states. Jobs are passed between systems that execute different tasks via a message bus, so that the different tasks may be executed. A job manager controls execution flow of jobs based on a job descriptor that describes the job.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2015Date of Patent: March 19, 2019Assignee: VMware, Inc.Inventors: Mark Bryan Whipple, Sachin Thakkar, Debashis Basak, Serge Maskalik, Narendra Kumar Basur Shankarappa
