Abstract: Techniques for managing namespaces in a multi-cluster management (MCM) system to facilitate multi-cluster application development are provided. In one set of embodiments, a computer system executing the MCM system can create a workspace for an application being developed by a software development team of an organization, where the workspace is a logical grouping of namespaces on which the application has been or will be deployed, and where at least a subset of the namespaces can belong to different clusters of the organization. The computer system can then assign a member of the development team as a workspace administrator of the workspace, thereby enabling that development team member to perform management tasks on the workspace and its member namespaces via the MCM system (e.g., creating and adding namespaces to the workspace, setting access/image/network policies on the workspace, etc.), without help from the organization's IT staff.

Abstract: A method for improving end user experience in a virtual desktop infrastructure that includes a plurality of user devices is provided. The method includes receiving data that relates to respective resource usage by each of the user devices, calculating and monitoring metrics that are based on the resource usage data, analyzing the metrics to determine a system performance problem, and generating an alert message that notifies appropriate personnel about the problem diagnosis. The virtual desktop infrastructure may include more than one thousand devices, and as a result, the problem diagnosis may be useful for predicting and preventing a subsequent occurrence of the problem in many devices for which the problem has not yet become manifested.
