Modifying a container instance network
A method, computer program product, and system includes a processor(s) progressively recording data modifications to an object (e.g., a virtual resource or a container), in an in-memory resource of the shared computing environment. Based on receiving an indication of a system failure or a system reboot, the processor(s) writes the data modifications to a non-volatile storage resource, where the non-volatile storage resource is readable by an object manager communicatively coupled to the non-volatile storage resource, and where the object manager utilizes the data modifications to recover the object at reboot following the system failure.
1. A computer program product comprising:
a computer readable storage medium readable by one or more processors and storing instructions for execution by the one or more processors for performing a method comprising:
progressively recording, by the one or more processors, data modifications to a virtual workload, in a shared computing environment, in an in-memory resource of the shared computing environment; and
based on receiving an indication of a system failure or a system reboot, writing, by the one or more processors, the data modifications to a non-volatile storage resource, wherein the non-volatile storage resource is readable by a hypervisor communicatively coupled to the non-volatile storage resource, and wherein the hypervisor utilizes the data modifications to recover a most recent version of the virtual workload at reboot following the system failure, based on the progressively recording.
2. The computer program product of claim 1 , wherein writing the data modifications to the non-volatile storage resource is during a system dump.
3. The computer program product of claim 1 , wherein the non-volatile storage resource is selected from the group consisting of: a non-volatile random-access memory, a flash memory, a magnetoresistive random access memory, and a dynamic random-access memory.
4. The computer program product of claim 1 , wherein writing the data modifications to the non-volatile storage resource comprises pre-processing, by the one or more processors, the data modifications to remove redundant records.
5. The computer program product of claim 1 , the method further comprising:
replaying, by the hypervisor, the data modifications from the non-volatile storage resource after a system reboot to reboot the object.
6. The computer program product of claim 1 , the method further comprising:
applying, by the one or more processors, the data modifications from the non-volatile storage resource to the hypervisor.
7. The computer program product of claim 1 , further comprising:
applying, by the one or more processors, the data modifications from the non-volatile storage resource to a driver of the hypervisor; and
utilizing, by the hypervisor, the driver, to restore the virtual workload.
8. A system comprising:
a memory;
one or more processors in communication with the memory; and
program instructions executable by the one or more processors via the memory to perform a method, the method comprising:
progressively recording, by the one or more processors, data modifications to a virtual workload, in a shared computing environment, in an in-memory resource of the shared computing environment; and
based on receiving an indication of a system failure or a system reboot, writing, by the one or more processors, the data modifications to a non-volatile storage resource, wherein the non-volatile storage resource is readable by a hypervisor communicatively coupled to the non-volatile storage resource, and wherein the hypervisor utilizes the data modifications to recover a most recent version of the virtual workload at reboot following the system failure, based on the progressively recording.
