    Abstract: A data storage infrastructure may establish a partition that includes a first data center and a second data center that is geographically separated from the first data center. The data storage infrastructure may replicate a full snapshot and one or more incremental snapshots of a virtual machine from a first data management platform to a second data management platform, where the virtual machine is migrated from a first host of the first host group to a second host of the second host group upon a failover event occurring at the first data center. The data storage infrastructure may then capture an incremental snapshot of the virtual machine based on linking a first instance of the virtual machine that was replicated from the first data management platform and a second instance of the virtual machine that is managed by the second data management platform.

    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for execution of applications in a container. An exemplary method comprises receiving, by at least one computing device, a request to an application, wherein the application includes a set of instructions for processing the request, determining whether a state snapshot is available for the computing device, restoring state of the process from the state snapshot in a container on the computing device and processing the request based on the set of instructions by the process when the state snapshot is available, preparing at least one new process in the container on the computing device for processing the request, creating a new state snapshot for the application and processing the request based on the set of instructions by the new process when the state snapshot is not available, wherein creating the new state snapshot is performed after preparing the new process and before processing the request.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products for selection of a witness during virtualization system recovery after a disaster event. A recovery plan is configured to identify a witness that is then used to elect a leader to implement the recovery. Various system, and/or network, and/or component failures and/or various loss of function of components of the virtualization system can trigger initiation of the recovery plan. Based on the particular recovery plan that is invoked upon a determination of a network outage, or component failure or loss of function of a component of the virtualization system, a particular witness corresponding to a subset of entities of the particular recovery plan is selected. The witness is used to elect the leader, and the leader initiates actions of the recovery plan. The implementation of the recovery plan includes consideration of the health of components that would potentially be involved in the recovery actions.
