  • Provisioning data volumes for containers running in virtual machines
    Patent number: 10871925
    Abstract: A computer system has a virtualization software that supports execution of a virtual machine in which a container is run. A method of provisioning a data volume for the container in this computer system includes the steps of monitoring a designated virtual socket, detecting, based on the monitoring, a request from a plug-in of the container to create a data volume, and upon detecting the request, communicating the request to the virtualization software to cause the virtualization software to create the data volume.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 30, 2017
    Date of Patent: December 22, 2020
    Assignee: VMware, Inc.
    Inventors: Mark Sterin, Govindan Thirumal Thiruvengada, Ritesh H. Shukla, Andrew Stone, Prashant Dhamdhere
  • Enforcing limits on a self-serve model for provisioning data volumes for containers running in virtual machines
    Patent number: 10866767
    Abstract: A computer system has a virtualization software that supports execution of a virtual machine in which a container is run. A method of managing allocation of storage resources to the container includes the steps of monitoring a virtual socket, detecting, based on the monitoring, a request from a plug-in of the container to create a data volume, upon detecting the request, retrieving a storage resource limit that has been set for the first virtual machine and determining if creation of the data volume causes the storage resource limit to be exceeded, and communicating the request to the virtualization software to cause the virtualization software to create the data volume if the limit is determined to be not exceeded and returning an error if the limit is determined to be exceeded.

  • Provisioning data volumes for containers running in virtual machines in which storage for the virtual machines are backed by heterogeneous storage devices
    Patent number: 10852995
    Abstract: A computer system has a virtualization software that supports execution of a virtual machine in which a container is run. A method of provisioning first and second data volumes for the container, wherein the first data volume is backed by storage device of a first type and the second data volume is backed by storage device of a second type, includes monitoring a designated virtual socket, detecting, based on monitoring, a first request from a plug-in of the container to create a first data volume having first storage requirements, upon detecting the first request, communicating the request to the virtualization software to create the first data volume, detecting, based on monitoring, a second request from a plug-in of the container to create a second data volume having second storage requirements, and upon detecting the second request, communicating the request to the virtualization software to create the second data volume.
