Management of containerized clusters by virtualization systems

A system comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• a processing device executing a transaction manager and operatively coupled to the memory, the processing device to:
• generate, via a mediator of a virtualization management system, a specified virtualization management entity of the virtualization management system;
• receive, through an application programming interface (API) of the virtualization management system, a request to perform an operation on the specified virtualization management entity of the virtualization management system;
• responsive to determining that the specified virtualization management entity is designated as a proxy entity, identify a cluster entity of a containerized computing cluster, wherein the cluster entity is represented by the specified virtualization management entity;
• translate, via the mediator of the virtualization management system, responsive to the request, the request to one or more commands to be performed on the identified cluster entity of the containerized computing cluster, wherein translating the request comprises translating an identity of the specified virtualization management entity to an identity of the cluster entity, wherein the one or more commands include the identity of the cluster entity;
• and
• send the one or more commands to an API of the containerized computing cluster, wherein the API of the containerized computing cluster is different from the API of the virtualization management system.

A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium storing instructions that cause a processing device to:

• generate, via a mediator of a virtualization management system, a specified virtualization management entity of the virtualization management system;
• receive, through an application programming interface (API) of the virtualization management system, a request to perform an operation on the specified virtualization management entity of the virtualization management system;
• responsive to determining that the specified virtualization management entity is designated as a proxy entity, identify a cluster entity of a containerized computing cluster, wherein the cluster entity is represented by the specified virtualization management entity;
• translate, via the mediator of the virtualization management system, responsive to the request, the request to one or more commands to be performed on the identified cluster entity of the containerized computing cluster, wherein translating the request comprises translating an identity of the specified virtualization management entity to an identity of the cluster entity,
• wherein the one or more commands include the identity of the cluster entity;
• and
• send the one or more commands to an API of the containerized computing cluster, wherein the API of the containerized computing cluster is different from the API of the virtualization management system.
