Abstract: Techniques are described for placing virtual machines (VM) on computer hosts. In one embodiment, a user may compose a constraint specification document which includes VM and host properties and how they are retrieved, as well as constraint predicates that define valid VM placements on hosts. Use of the constraint specification document permits new constraints, including constraints that involve new properties, to be handled without requiring changing the underlying code for collecting required input data and processing said data to determine whether placement constraints are satisfied. Instead, based on the constraint specification document, a resource scheduler or high availability module may program a programmable data collector to fetch the needed properties from the appropriate places. Then, the resource scheduler or high availability module may parse the constraint predicates, evaluate potential placements to determine whether the constraint predicates are satisfied, and place VMs according to placements that satisfy the constraint predicates.

Abstract translation: 描述了将虚拟机（VM）放在计算机主机上的技术。 在一个实施例中，用户可以组成约束规范文档，其包括VM和主机属性以及它们如何被检索，以及在主机上定义有效的VM布局的约束谓词。 使用约束规范文档允许处理新约束，包括涉及新属性的约束，而不需要更改用于收集所需输入数据的底层代码并处理所述数据以确定是否满足放置约束。 相反，基于约束规范文档，资源调度器或高可用性模块可以编程可编程数据收集器以从适当的位置获取所需的属性。 然后，资源调度器或高可用性模块可以解析约束谓词，评估潜在的布局以确定约束谓词是否被满足，并且根据满足约束谓词的布局来放置VM。

Abstract: Embodiments maintain high availability of software application instances in a fault domain. Subordinate hosts are monitored by a master host. The subordinate hosts publish heartbeats via a network and datastores. Based at least in part on the published heartbeats, the master host determines the status of each subordinate host, distinguishing between subordinate hosts that are entirely inoperative and subordinate hosts that are operative but partitioned (e.g., unreachable via the network). The master host may restart software application instances, such as virtual machines, that are executed by inoperative subordinate hosts or that cease executing on partitioned subordinate hosts.

Abstract: Methods and systems to reconfigure clusters in elastic multi-tenant cloud computing system. An example method includes partitioning a first resource reservation of a first virtual data center between a first cluster and a second cluster and partitioning a second resource reservation of a second virtual data center between the first cluster and the second cluster, and based on the partitioning of the first resource reservation and the second resource reservation, collectively adjusting a first portion of the first resource reservation allotted to the first cluster and a second portion of the second resource reservation allotted to the first cluster in a same reconfiguration operation.
