VIRTUAL MACHINE CREATION BASED ON DYNAMIC GROUP HOST NODE FEATURE SET - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17945936 titled 'VIRTUAL MACHINE CREATION BASED ON DYNAMIC GROUP HOST NODE FEATURE SET

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method for creating virtual machines (VMs) based on dynamically-calculated feature sets. A group feature set is calculated from a plurality of feature sets corresponding to different VM host nodes, and a VM is configured to use this group feature set.

  • Each feature set corresponds to a different VM host node in a common VM migration group.
  • The group feature set includes a subset of features common among the plurality of feature sets.
  • The VM created within the VM host nodes uses the group feature set.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in cloud computing environments, data centers, and virtualization platforms to optimize VM creation and migration processes.

Problems Solved

1. Efficiently creating VMs with appropriate feature sets based on host nodes. 2. Simplifying the management of VMs within a migration group.

Benefits

1. Improved performance and resource utilization in virtualized environments. 2. Streamlined VM deployment and migration processes.

Potential Commercial Applications

Optimizing cloud infrastructure, enhancing data center operations, and improving virtualization management tools.

Possible Prior Art

Prior art may include existing methods for dynamically configuring VMs based on host node capabilities and feature sets.

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology impact VM scalability in large-scale cloud environments?

This technology could potentially improve VM scalability by efficiently allocating resources based on dynamically-calculated feature sets.

What security considerations are involved in dynamically configuring VMs based on group feature sets?

Security implications of dynamically configuring VMs based on group feature sets need to be addressed to ensure data protection and system integrity.


Original Abstract Submitted

Virtual Machine (VM) creation based on a dynamically-calculated feature set. A plurality of feature sets are identified. Each feature set in the plurality of feature sets corresponds to a different VM host node of a plurality of VM host nodes that are part of a common VM migration group, and indicates a set of features available at a corresponding VM host node. From the plurality of feature sets, a group feature set is calculated. The group feature set includes a subset of features that are common among the plurality of feature sets. A VM created within the plurality of VM host nodes is configured to use the group feature set.
