Application: Peer virtual machine monitoring and auto-healing system (Patent ID: US20240103895A1)
The patent filed by Microsoft Corp. describes systems and methods for monitoring the health of virtual machines (VMs) by determining a leader VM count for a group of VM nodes, selecting leader VMs, and performing a peer VM monitoring process. This process involves storing health information for each VM node, identifying sick VMs using leader VMs, and automatically healing the sick VMs to enhance their performance. The system also includes a leader selection process to maintain the appropriate number of leader VMs based on health levels and computing device availability.
The data processing system outlined in the patent includes executable instructions that enable the system to determine leader VM counts, select leader VMs, and conduct peer VM monitoring processes to improve VM performance. The system ensures that leader VMs are distributed across computing devices, limits the number of leader VMs per device, and utilizes a Remote Dictionary Server (Redis) as the data store. Additionally, the system performs leader selection processes to adjust the number of leader VMs based on health levels, removes sick leader VMs, and maintains an up-to-date leader VM list to effectively monitor and manage the health of VM nodes.
