  • METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR HYPERVISOR BOOT UP
    Publication number: 20230367607
    Abstract: This application relates to apparatus and methods for booting servers, such as cloud datacenter compute servers. The servers may execute one or more hypervisors, such as stateless hypervisors, with each hypervisor supporting one or more virtual machines. In some examples, each of a plurality of servers are configured to boot from a network. The compute servers may obtain an IP address identifying a location of hypervisor bootable images. Upon a reboot, the servers may request and obtain a hypervisor bootable image from the IP address. The servers may execute the hypervisor bootable image to run a hypervisor. In some examples, the servers also obtain virtual machine images from the network. One or more hypervisors executing on each server may obtain, and execute, one or more of the virtual machine images to run one or more virtual machines.
