Application: Distributed computing system with hypervisor mobility service (Patent ID: US20240205089A1)
The patent filed by Microsoft Corp. describes a distributed computing system that includes a server executing a mobility service, first and second computing devices with hypervisors implementing mobility clients to detect and manage the attachment of virtual machines. The first mobility client stores network routing information, receives and forwards network traffic for the virtual machine between hypervisors. A tracking service determines the virtual machine's attachment status based on mobility sequence numbers. Additionally, a software-defined network is used to route network traffic based on the virtual machine's attachment status.
The system's method involves incrementing mobility sequence numbers, sending notifications to the mobility service, storing network routing information, and forwarding network traffic between hypervisors. The software-defined network is utilized to route network traffic based on the virtual machine's attachment status. The mobility service updates network routing information and associates the network location with the next hop IP address. The method also includes deleting stored network routing information when the virtual machine is no longer attached to a hypervisor, with the virtual machine potentially forming part of a hypervisor control plane.
