Abstract
Disclosed herein are a system, non-transitory computer readable medium, and method for governing communications of a bare metal guest in a cloud network. A network interface handles packets of data in accordance with commands by a control agent.
Claims15
A system comprising:
- a computer communicatively connected to a cloud network, the computer comprising a bare metal guest configuration;
- a control agent which, if executed, instructs at least one processor to govern communication between the computer and resources of the cloud network;
- and
- a network interface controller which, if executed, instructs at least one processor to route packets to and from the computer in accordance with commands from the control agent, the commands instructing at least one module in the controller.
1 more element
A non-transitory computer readable medium having instructions therein which, if executed, cause at least one processor to:
- establish a connection between a computer and a cloud network, the computer comprising a bare metal guest configuration;
- allocate a first group of network interface registers to a control agent, the control agent being a module to govern communication between the computer and resources of the cloud network;
- allocate a second group of the network interface registers to the computer;
- and
- handle packets of data to and from the computer in accordance with instructions by the control agent.
2 more elements
A method comprising
- establishing, using at least one processor, a connection between a computer and a cloud network, the computer comprising a bare metal guest configuration;
- apportioning, using at least one processor, a plurality of network interface registers between the computer and a control agent, the control agent being a module to govern communication between the computer and resources of the cloud network;
- and
- routing, using at least one processor, packets of data to and from the computer in accordance with instructions by the control agent.
