Providing physical host state information to virtual machines deployed on the physical host

Abstract:

An orchestrator component, of a host device, may establish a connection to a bridge associated with the host device, where multiple virtual machines are executing on the host device. The orchestrator component may provide, to one or more of the multiple virtual machines, a notification about the bridge associated with the host device, where the notification is to permit the one or more of the multiple virtual machines to connect to the bridge. The orchestrator component may obtain one or more dynamic parameters relating to the host device, and may provide the one or more dynamic parameters for transmission to the one or more of the multiple virtual machines via the bridge to permit the one or more of the multiple virtual machines to receive and process the one or more dynamic parameters.
