  • Patent number: 10402183
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for network-less provisioning of guest operating system and software. In one embodiment, a monitor process mounts a floppy image or ISO storing a deployment tool on a virtual CD/DVD device or virtual floppy device, respectively, of a VM and powers on the VM. The deployment tool is invoked upon powering on of the VM and requests that the monitor mount an OS ISO image on the virtual CD/DVD device. In response, the monitor mounts the OS ISO and transmits an acknowledgment to the deployment tool, which initiates OS installation from the OS ISO image. After the OS installation, the deployment tool transmits a further request that monitor clean-up resources consumed during the OS installation and reboots the VM, after which a similar process may be undertaken to install software for the VM.

  • Patent number: 9785426
    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, and systems to manage application updates in a cloud environment are disclosed. Disclosed example methods include determining that a collector in a collector bank is available to process a task, the task to at least one of request an application version or request an application update and sending the task from a task queue to the collector to determine which compute node is to execute the task. Disclosed example methods also include enqueuing the task on a target queue based on a routing key assigned to the task by the collector, the routing key to specify the compute node to execute the task, and sending the task to the compute node associated with the target compute node queue.

  • Patent number: 9697376
    Abstract: User storage is attached to a central storage management system when the central storage management system receives a request to attach a cloud-based user storage thereto. The central storage management system accesses the cloud-based user storage and determines a set of objects stored therein. For each object in the set of objects, the storage management system stores corresponding metadata therein.
