Abstract: In some embodiments, an apparatus includes a scheduler disposed at a control device of a switch fabric system. The scheduler is configured to receive a control plane request associated with the switch fabric system having a data plane and a control plane separate from the data plane. The scheduler is configured to designate a control plane entity based on the control plane request and state information of each control plane entity from a set of control plane entities associated with the control plane and instantiated as a virtual machine. The scheduler is configured to send a signal to a compute device of the switch fabric system in response to the control plane request such that the control plane entity is instantiated as a virtual machine at the compute device.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a non-transitory processor-readable medium includes code to cause a processor to receive, at a management device, an instantiation request for a first virtual machine. The code includes code to cause the processor to identify a first compute device at a first time such that the first compute device is undersubscribed at the first time. The code includes code to cause the processor to send an instruction to instantiate the first virtual machine at the compute device, and receive a signal indicating that a boot process associated with the first virtual machine is complete and that the virtual machine is instantiated at the first compute device. The code includes code to cause the processor to send at a second time, a signal to migrate the first virtual machine from the first compute device to a second compute device in response to the boot process being complete.
