Device pass-through for virtualized environments

A system for device pass-through for a virtual machine on the system via a pass-through key, the system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• at least one computer-readable storage medium having stored therein instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
• determining one or more respective configuration parameters associated with one or more network interfaces associated with the system;
• mapping the one or more respective configuration parameters to each corresponding network interface from the one or more network interfaces to yield a tag comprising a key and value pair of mapped interfaces-parameters, the key and value pair including the pass-through key with a label of the one or more network interfaces and a role of the one or more network interfaces;
• recording the tag to a data object accessible by the virtual machine on the system;
• configuring the virtual machine to process the mapped interfaces-parameters as boot time parameters while launching;
• before launching the one of the virtual machines, identifying any applications and services requiring the tag;
• and
• launching the virtual machine based on the mapped interfaces-parameters, the launching including binding the applications or the services to the one or more network interfaces based on the mapped interfaces-parameters.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored therein instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations for device pass-through for a virtual machine on a computing device via a pass-through key, the operations comprising:

• determining one or more respective configuration parameters associated with one or more network interfaces on the computing device;
• mapping the one or more respective configuration parameters to each corresponding network interface from the one or more network interfaces to yield a tag comprising a key and value pair of mapped interfaces-parameters, the key and value pair including the pass-through key with a label of the one or more network interfaces and a role of the one or more network interfaces;
• recording the tag to a data object accessible by the virtual machine on the computing device;
• configuring the virtual machine to process the mapped interfaces-parameters as boot time parameters while launching;
• before launching the one of the virtual machines, identifying any applications and services requiring the tag;
• and
• launching the virtual machine based on the mapped interfaces-parameters, the launching including binding the applications or the services to the one or more network interfaces based on the mapped interfaces-parameters.
