CREATION OF A SOCIAL NETWORK OF MEMBERS OF A VIRTUALIZATION INFRASTRUCTURE
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for creating a social network of members of a virtualization infrastructure, the method comprising:
- at a virtualization infrastructure manager, identifying at least a portion of the members of the virtualization infrastructure;
identifying parent/child relationships of identified members of the virtualization infrastructure;
generating a social network of the identified members of the virtualization infrastructure based on the parent/child relationships; and
establishing affiliation relationships between parent members and child members of the virtualization infrastructure, wherein the child members can access shared message streams corresponding to the parent members, such that a child member can establish an association of a message with an indication that the child member identifies with content of the message.

Abstract
A computer-implemented method for creating a social network of members of a virtualization infrastructure. At a virtualization infrastructure manager, at least a portion of the members of the virtualization infrastructure are identified. Parent/child relationships of identified members of the virtualization infrastructure are identified. A social network of the identified members of the virtualization infrastructure is generated based on the parent/child relationships. Affiliation relationships between parent members and child members of the virtualization infrastructure are established, wherein the child members can access shared message streams corresponding to the parent members, such that a child member can establish an association of a message with an indication that the child member identifies with content of the message.

19. A computer-implemented method for creating a social network of members of a virtualization infrastructure, the method comprising:
-
at a virtualization infrastructure manager, identifying at least a portion of the members of the virtualization infrastructure, the identifying at least a portion of the members of the virtualization infrastructure comprising; for a respective member of the virtualization infrastructure, identifying child members of the respective member; and identifying whether the child members are active participants of the social network or passive participants of the social network, wherein the active participants are able to generate a message to a shared message stream of the social network; identifying parent/child relationships of identified members of the virtualization infrastructure; generating a social network of the identified members of the virtualization infrastructure based on the parent/child relationships; and establishing affiliation relationships between parent members and child members of the virtualization infrastructure, wherein the child members can access shared message streams corresponding to the parent members, such that a child member can establish an association of a message with an indication that the child member identifies with content of the message, wherein the affiliation relationships are established between respective parent members and child members that are able to generate a message to the shared message stream of the social network. - View Dependent Claims (20)
