  • System and Method for Managing Size of Clusters in a Computing Environment
    Publication number: 20220129299
    Abstract: A number of hosts in a logical cluster is adjusted up or down in an elastic manner by tracking membership of hosts in the cluster using a first data structure and tracking membership of hosts in a spare pool using a second data structure, and upon determining that a triggering condition for adding another host is met and that all hosts in the cluster are being used, selecting a host from the spare pool, and programmatically adding an identifier of the selected host to the first data structure and programmatically deleting the identifier of the selected host from the second data structure.
    Type: Application

  • Protecting virtual computing instances from network failures
    Patent number: 10367711
    Abstract: The subject matter described herein provides virtual computing instance (VCI) component protection against networking failures in a datacenter cluster. Networking routes at the host level, VCI level, and application level are monitored for connectivity. Failures are communicated to a primary host or to a datacenter virtualization infrastructure that initiates policy-based remediation, such as moving affected VCIs to another host in the cluster that has all the necessary networking routes functional.
    Type: Grant
