Application: Configuring virtualization system images for a computing cluster (Patent ID: US20240069952A1)
The patent filed by Nutanix Inc. describes a method and system for deploying virtualization system images to nodes in heterogeneous environments to form a computer cluster with a shared storage pool. The virtualization system images are configured based on information about the heterogeneous computing environments, reconciling constraints in advance. A common subnet is established across the environments, serving as a communication path for the storage pool. The virtualization system images correspond to address portions of an address space used to access data in the storage pool.
The patent further details a non-transitory computer-readable medium and a method for identifying candidate nodes distributed across different cloud environments, configuring them to form a cluster interconnected by a common subnet. The nodes self-assemble using the common subnet, enabling them to process workloads once ready. The configurations include node-specific virtualization system images tailored to enable communication and self-assembly within the cluster. The patent also covers a computing system executing instructions to perform the identified acts, emphasizing the use of virtualization system images and logical subnets to facilitate cluster formation across heterogeneous cloud environments.
