Publication number: 20230179665Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed to manage cloud provider sessions. An example apparatus includes at least one non-transitory computer readable medium to store machine readable instructions and processor circuitry of a first device to execute the machine readable instructions to cause the processor circuitry based on a request to perform an action having a duration that is unspecified or sufficiently long, obtain a handle for a user token corresponding to a user that requested the action. Additionally, the processor circuitry is to, during performance of the action by a cloud provider, access the user token using the handle when the cloud provider requires user authorization, the user token to be accessed from a second device.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 14, 2023Publication date: June 8, 2023Inventors: Georgi Mitsov, Evgeny Aronov, Ivo Petkov, Alexander Dimitrov, Zahari Ivanov, Ivan Strelkov

Patent number: 11392423Abstract: A quorum in a cluster of nodes in a quorum-based computing system can be dynamically updated such that even just a single remaining operational node can be sufficient to support continued operation of the computing system, while other node(s) in the cluster are in a failure state. When the other node(s) in the cluster become enabled again, the quorum can be adjusted back to an original quorum of the cluster. The content of storage devices in such other node(s) can be deleted when the node(s) start up from the failure state, and up-to-date content from the operational node can be synchronized into the newly started other node(s), thereby enabling content to be consistent and updated in all of the operational nodes in the cluster/quorum.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2019Date of Patent: July 19, 2022Assignee: VMWARE, INC.Inventors: Georgi Muleshkov, Zahari Ivanov, Lazarin Lazarov, Sergio Sanchez

Patent number: 11099909Abstract: Methods, apparatus and articles of manufacture to provide client extensibility during provisioning of virtual computing resources are disclosed. An example event broker apparatus includes a subscription manager to manage subscriptions to event topics associated with provisioning of a virtual computing resource. The example apparatus includes a meta-topic subscriber to identify a subscription request by a service for an event topic and to trigger, in response to the subscription request, a meta-topic subscription to indicate a) a subscriber to the event topic and b) a type of the subscriber, the type to include at least a blocking subscriber. The example apparatus includes a topic monitor to monitor for an event corresponding to the event topic to determine whether to trigger a blocking subscriber workflow when the meta-topic subscription indicates that the type of the subscriber is a blocking subscriber or bypass the blocking subscriber workflow when the type of the subscriber is not a blocking subscriber.Type: GrantFiled: May 15, 2018Date of Patent: August 24, 2021Assignee: VMware, Inc.Inventors: Ventsyslav Raikov, Zahari Ivanov, Lazarin Lazarov, Boris Savov

Patent number: 11025732Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed to manage cloud provider sessions. The examples disclosed herein provide a system to manage cloud provider sessions. The system includes a session manger to establish a session using credentials associated with a cloud provider in response to detecting a request to establish the session with the cloud provider and to record a lifespan of a session token associated with the session. When the lifespan of the session token meets a threshold value, the session manager is to use the credentials to obtain a new session token to refresh the session. The system additionally includes a cloud provider adapter to, in response to detecting an action selection associated with a device, call the cloud provider to execute the action.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2019Date of Patent: June 1, 2021Assignee: VMWARE, INC.Inventors: Georgi Mitsov, Evgeny Aronov, Ivo Petkov, Alexander Dimitrov, Zahari Ivanov, Ivan Strelkov

Patent number: 10628148Abstract: An inter-platform application manager may require a platform-specific resource template to be mapped to a resource proxy before it can be deployed to the platform. The mapping requirement can prove incompatible to automation software requiring a stateless API and may also limit accessibility by some human users. A front end can be provided that automates mapping (or provides for administrator mapping) of templates to proxies. Only mapped resources are made available to a user for selection. Accordingly, user-selected resource can then be deployed without risk of interruption due to a lack of mapping. The front end can provide a RESTful API so as to be compatible with conforming automation programs.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2018Date of Patent: April 21, 2020Assignee: VMware, Inc.Inventors: Ventsyslav Raikov, Zahari Ivanov, Anna Delcheva
