Abstract: In one embodiment, a method determines a first set of virtual machines and a second set of virtual machines. The first set of virtual machines is associated with a first priority level and the second set of virtual machines is associated with a second priority level. A first set of computing resources and a second set of computing resources are associated with hosts. Upon determining a failure of a host, the method performs: generating a power off request for one or more of the second set of virtual machines powered on the second set of computing resources and generating a power on request for one or more virtual machines from the first set of virtual machines that were powered on the failed host, the power on request powering on the one or more virtual machines from the first set of virtual machines on the second set of computing resources.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method for placing virtual machines in a collection is provided. A plurality of equivalence sets of hosts is determined prior to placing virtual machines in the collection. The hosts in an equivalence set of hosts are considered similar. An equivalence set of hosts in the plurality of equivalence sets is selected to place the virtual machines in the collection. The method then places at least a portion of the virtual machines in the collection on one or more hosts in the selected equivalence set of hosts.

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: Recovery of virtual machines when one or more hosts fail includes identifying virtual machines running on the remaining functioning hosts. Some of the identified powered on virtual machines are suspended in favor of restarting some of the failed virtual machines from the failed host(s). A subsequent round of identifying virtual machines for suspension and virtual machines for restarting is performed. Virtual machines for suspension and restarting may be identified based on their associated “recovery time objective” (RTO) values or their “maximum number of RTO violations” value.

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.
