Transforming system calls in a distributed architecture

Abstract:

Techniques are disclosed for implementing system calls in a virtualized computing environment. An interface is configured to abstract partitions in the virtualized computing environment. A system call is received that is to be executed across a system boundary in a localized computing environment. Based on a declarative policy, one or more of a device type, device path, or process identity associated with the system call is determined. The system call is executed in the virtualized computing environment.
