Embodiment Construction

[0017] Embodiments of the present invention provide methods, systems and computer program products for retasking managed VM images in a virtualized data processing system. According to an embodiment of the present invention, a VM image can be created in a virtualized data processing system. You can select a role for a VM image, and apply the configuration corresponding to the selected role to the VM image. In this regard, the configuration described above can include a set of resources in the underlying computing platform that the VM image can access. Afterwards, the role of the VM image can change. In response thereto, a different configuration corresponding to the new role can be applied to the VM image. Resource usage and access of the underlying computing platform can be balanced between the roles fulfilled by the different VM images managed in the virtualized data processing system.

[0018] In further illustration, figure 1 is an illustration of a virtualized data pr...

Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, system and computer program product for virtualization of application lifecycles. In an embodiment of the invention, a virtualization data processing system can be provided. The system can include a hypervisor configured for execution in a host computing platform, a VM image managed by the hypervisor, and a configuration applied to the VM image. The configuration can specify a set of resources in the host computing platform accessible by applications executing in the VM image. Finally, the system can include re-tasking logic coupled to the hypervisor. The logic can include program code enabled to select a new role for the VM image, to determine a new configuration for the new role, and to apply the new configuration to the VM image.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of virtualization, and more particularly, to hypervisor management of virtualized computing environments. Background technique [0002] For decades, computing meant both applications and supporting platforms. Until the late twentieth century, the mainframe computing environment consisted of a hardware architecture of processor cores, input / output, memory, and fixed storage devices, the combination of which supported an operating system, which in turn supported the execution of a single application at a time. Increasingly, as processor power increased exponentially, advanced forms of operating systems enabled simulated as well as real multitasking, enabling multiple applications to be executed within the same host computing environment. [0003] Initially, applications are self-contained bundles of logic that depend primarily on core object files and associated resource files. However, as computing begins to ...
