Application: Virtualization processing system, method and apparatus, and device (Patent ID: US20240054006A1)
The patent filed by Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. describes a virtualization processing system that includes a virtualization infrastructure deployed on a virtual machine management and control board side and a management and control virtual machine deployed on a host machine side. The system utilizes a management and control manner based on a virtual node, allowing for encapsulation of management and control tasks inside a management and control virtual machine that can be deployed on either the host machine side or the M&C board side. In cases where resources on the M&C board are insufficient, virtual management and control nodes can be dynamically started on the host machine side to share some tasks using host machine resources.
The system further includes a processing apparatus for the management and control virtual machine, which determines resource use situation data of the M&C board card. If the data does not meet a specific condition, the management and control virtual machine is deployed on the host machine side to utilize host machine resources for management and control. The system also allows for the deployment of different management and control virtual machines based on a deployment strategy, with some on the host machine side and some on the M&C board side. Additionally, the system ensures isolation of host machine resources used by the management and control virtual machine from those used by the user virtual machine, providing efficient and effective virtualization processing.
