REPAIRING HIGH-AVAILABILITY VIRTUAL MACHINE PLACEMENTS IN A COMPUTING CLUSTER
Placement scenario optimization mechanisms for automatic placement of computing entities onto nodes of a running multi-node computing cluster. A set of failure mode parameters define a high-availability requirement of the multi-node computing cluster. In advance of a failure event, and responsive to a determination that a then-current computing entity placement does not satisfy the high-availability requirement, the cluster is analyzed and a plurality of feasible placement scenarios are generated. Optimization criteria are applied to the feasible placement scenarios such that a best choice from among the feasible placement scenarios is identified and applied to the virtual machine placements over the cluster. A change monitoring and detection facility continually observes the multi-node computing cluster to detect a change of a failure mode parameter or to detect a change to the configuration of the virtual machines. Certain of such changes cause feasible placement scenarios to be generated, evaluated, selected, and applied.

Role-based access controls (RBAC) are extended to include multi-party authorizations for certain computing cluster operations or data items. Upon receiving a request to perform an operation over a computing cluster or its data, a check is carried out to determine if the operation (e.g., READ, WRITE, EXECUTE, DELETE, etc.) is subject to both a role-based access control as well as a multi-party authorization (MPA) consensus protocol. The determination to allow or deny the request includes (1) accessing a role-based access control record corresponding to the operation or data item, and (2) invoking the multi-party authorization consensus protocol. Prior to performance of the operation, a computer program collects “approve” or “deny” responses from individual ones of the multiple parties. When approval consensus is reached, the operation is performed. If approval is denied, or if an approval consensus is not reached within a time limit, then the operation is not performed.
Methods, systems, and computer program products for thwarting a malware attack. A data storage system stores data items, some of which data items correspond to snapshots. Upon identification of a possible ransomware attack on a data item, the system identifies a version of the snapshot that is not subject to the ransomware attack and seeks to protect the data state of the system from further damage (e.g., due to performance of unauthorized operations on the version of the snapshot that is not subject to the ransomware attack) by requiring consensus from a multi-party authorization (MPA) consensus regime before carrying out requested operations over the snapshot. The MPA consensus regime operates by determining that the operation is subject to a role-based access control (RBAC) as well as a multi-party authorization (MPA) consensus protocol, and then allowing or denying execution of the requested operations based on achieving consensus from among candidate approvers.

Various embodiments set forth techniques for managing metadata for a vblock include dynamically normalizing and denormalizing vblock metadata associated with an extent. Vblock metadata associated with an extent is normalized when the extent is migrated to a different extent group by having the vblock metadata to a mapping between the extent identifier and an extent group identifier in a metadata map separate from the vblock metadata. Vblock metadata associated with an extent is denormalized whenever the number of vblock metadata associated with an extent drops below a threshold. Vblock metadata is denormalized by updating the vblock metadata to include a mapping to an extent group, based on a mapping of the extent to the extent group in a separate metadata map, and then removing the mapping in the separate metadata map.
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.

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.

ELASTIC REQUEST HANDLING TECHNIQUE FOR OPTIMIZING WORKLOAD PERFORMANCE
An elastic request handling technique limits a number of threads used to service input/output (I/O) requests of a low-latency I/O workload received by a file system server executing on a cluster having a plurality of nodes deployed in a virtualization environment. The limited number of threads (server threads) is constantly maintained as “active” and running on virtual central processing units (vCPUs) of a node. The file system server spawns and organizes the active server threads as one or more pools of threads. The server prioritizes the low-latency I/O requests by loading them onto the active threads and allowing the requests to run on those active threads to completion, thereby obviating overhead associated with lock contention and vCPU migration after a context switch (i.e., to avoid rescheduling a thread on a different vCPU after execution of the thread was suspended).
A cluster configuration request to form a hyperconverged computing infrastructure (HCI) cluster in a cloud computing environment is processed. Based on the cluster configuration request and any other cluster specifications, a plurality of bare metal computing nodes of the cloud computing environment are configured to operate as an HCI cluster. First, a tenant-specific secure network overlay is formed on a first set of tenant-specific networking hardware resources. Then, the tenant-specific secure network overlay is used by an orchestrator to provision a second set of tenant-specific networking hardware resources. The second set of tenant-specific networking hardware resources are configured to interconnect node-local storage devices into a shared storage pool having a contiguous address space. Top-of-rack switches are configured to form a network overlay on the first set of tenant-specific networking hardware resources. Then, top-of-rack switches are configured to form a layer-2 subnet on the second set of tenant-specific networking hardware resources.

A unified namespace technique provides coherent access to unstructured data across different data access protocols having different logical constructs that are stored and managed on a storage system. A control plane infrastructure operates in connection with storage services to provide support for a vast array of storage platforms including file servers of a file system and object storage servers of an object store. Metadata associated with a data access transaction is processed separately and natively by a protocol stack of a particular storage service according to a particular data access protocol. The processed metadata is stored native to the access protocol in a metadata store associated with the particular storage service and is made available to the protocol stacks of the other storage services. Processed metadata is made available to the protocol stacks via an event notification logging service implemented as a message bus. A single canonical instance of the data is maintained for all of the logical constructs served by the storage system.
In some embodiments, a method includes processing, by a machine learning model, a natural-language expression to generate one or more rules, each rule including a trigger and one or more actions; monitoring a deployed infrastructure to detect an occurrence of at least one of the one or more triggers of a first rule of the one or more rules; and performing at least one of the one or more actions of the first rule based on the occurrence of at least one of the one or more triggers.

EXTENDING A SECURITY PERIMETER INTO A TENANT-SPECIFIC PUBLIC CLOUD PARTITION
Methods, systems, and computer program products for executing trusted software components in public computing clouds. Verifiably authentic software components are installed into a tenant partition of a multi-tenant public cloud-based environment. To do so, a software component installer is configured to install registered software components into the tenant partition. Installer processing includes (1) obtaining a component-specific token for a software component wherein the component-specific token is specific to both the software component to be installed and a particular tenant, and (2) installing the software component on behalf of the given tenant in the multi-tenant public cloud-based environment. Prior to executing the underlying code of the tenant-specific software component, the software component is authenticated with a component registry using the component-specific token. Additional trusted components are installed based on demand from within the tenant partition. No user or administrator intervention is needed and no credentials are hard-coded into the software components.

Dynamically adaptive technique for reference snapshot selection
A reference snapshot selection technique is configured to select a reference snapshot resolution algorithm used to determine an appropriate reference snapshot that may be employed to perform incremental snapshot replication of workload data between primary and secondary sites in a data replication environment. A reference resolution procedure is configured to process a set of constraints from the data replication environment to dynamically select the reference snapshot resolution algorithm based on a figure of merit that satisfies administrative constraints to reduce or optimize resource utilization in the data replication environment.
A technique improves storage efficiency of an object store configured to maintain numerous snapshots for long-term storage in an archival storage system by efficiently determining data that is exclusively owned by an expiring snapshot to allow deletion of the expiring snapshot from the object store. The technique involves managing index data structures to enable efficient garbage collection across a very large number of data objects. When a snapshot expires, the technique obviates the need to scan the numerous snapshot data objects to determine which index structures are no longer needed and can be reclaimed (garbage collected). The technique is directed to management of underlying storage based on different sets of policies. When certain snapshots expire and are ready for deletion, the technique is directed to finding those data blocks that are no longer referenced (used) by any valid snapshots.
