Method and system for unified application centric connectivity in various virtualization platforms

摘要

A method and system implementing application centric connectivity under various virtualization platforms are disclosed. According to one embodiment, a system comprises a virtual platform running on a physical machine; a virtual machine that hosts an application running on the virtual platform; a device binding module running on the virtual platform; a virtual device module running inside a virtual machine, a centralized management module running on datacenter management network. The binding module connects a virtual function of physical hardware interface card to the virtual machine and instructs the virtual device module to instantiate a virtual network device and a virtual storage device inside the virtual machine. The device binding module is in communication with the management module and receives updates from the management module and applies them to the virtual device in real time through the virtual device module. The management module ensures the consistent connectivity for an application in various virtualization platforms.

主权项

1. A system for managing unified application centric connectivity under various virtualization platforms, the system comprising: a processor of a physical machine, wherein the processor executes instructions stored in memory and wherein execution of:
a device binding module running on a virtual platform connects a virtual function of hardware interface card to a virtual machine and obtains virtual device configuration for the virtual machine from the management module, and a virtual device module installed on the virtual machine, the virtual device module executed to: maintain live contact with the device binding module, receive instruction from the device binding module, wherein the instruction specifies the number of virtual devices and configuration parameters of each virtual device, create the virtual devices, apply the configuration parameters to each device, and configure the virtual function of the physical interface card to ensure traffic isolation from other virtual machines.
