VIRTUALIZATION AGNOSTIC ORCHESTRATION IN A VIRTUAL COMPUTING SYSTEM

Abstract:

A system and method for maintaining a virtual computing system in a desired state defined by a service definition includes parsing, by a health-check system of the virtual computing system, the service definition for identifying a component to which the service definition applies. The component is one of a virtual machine and a container of the virtual computing system. To maintain the desired state, the health-check system is configured to collect operating values of one or more parameters from the component, determine that the component is in violation of the service definition based on the operating values of the one or more parameters, and troubleshoot the component upon finding the violation for maintaining the virtual computing system in the state defined by the service definition.
