Abstract: The present disclosure provides an improved approach to implement a management infrastructure for computing environments. The user interfaces for local management nodes are cached at a central management node. The cached copies of the local node UIs can then be executed as if the user was actually operating from the local node.

Abstract: A node at a server side of a client-server system receives a request corresponding to a user account maintained in the server side. If login credentials in the request are valid, the node generates a session and a set of values including session metadata, a timeframe, and a signature associated with the session, wherein the signature is generated from the session metadata, the timeframe, and a salt that is shared among nodes at the server side. The session and the set of values are sent to a client from which the request originated. An additional node at the server side receives a request to access the session and obtains values from a value included in the request corresponding to the signature associated with the session using the salt. Session access is granted or denied based at least in part on whether the obtained values match the session metadata and timeframe.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a computing device receives user input from a client device. The user input corresponds to a request for a task to be performed by each entity of a set of entities from a virtualization environment. The request for the task is sent to the set of entities. The computing device receives feedback from each entity of the set of entities. The feedback corresponds to the progress of each entity's individual task for the request. The computing device aggregates the feedback from the set of entities into a single parent task, and sends only the reference to the parent task to the client device for display.
