Multi-Cloud Concurrent Export Implementation Summary

Date: 2026-01-23 Status: ✅ Completed

Executive Summary

Successfully implemented concurrent export functionality with live progress tracking for all major cloud providers:

All providers now support:

What Was Implemented

1. Export Options Architecture

Created ExportOptions types for all providers with:

Common Fields:

type ExportOptions struct {
    Format           string        // Output format (VMDK, VHD, OVF, etc.)
    OutputPath       string        // Local destination path
    ShowProgress     bool          // Enable progress bars
    ProgressCallback func(current, total int64, fileName string, fileIndex, totalFiles int)
    // Provider-specific fields...
}

Provider-Specific Fields:

AWS:

Azure:

GCP:

Hyper-V:

2. Progress Callback Implementation

All providers implement callbackProgressReader type:

type callbackProgressReader struct {
    reader       io.Reader
    total        int64
    currentBytes *int64
    callback     func(current, total int64, fileName string, fileIndex, totalFiles int)
    fileName     string
    fileIndex    int
    totalFiles   int
}

func (cpr *callbackProgressReader) Read(p []byte) (int, error) {
    n, err := cpr.reader.Read(p)
    current := atomic.AddInt64(cpr.currentBytes, int64(n))
    if cpr.callback != nil {
        cpr.callback(current, cpr.total, cpr.fileName, cpr.fileIndex, cpr.totalFiles)
    }
    return n, err
}

Key Features:

3. Export Functions with Options

Each provider has new export functions:

AWS:

func (c *Client) ExportInstanceWithOptions(ctx context.Context, instanceID string, opts ExportOptions) (*ExportResult, error)

Azure:

func (c *Client) ExportDiskWithOptions(ctx context.Context, diskName string, opts ExportOptions) (*ExportResult, error)

GCP:

func (c *Client) ExportDiskWithOptions(ctx context.Context, diskName string, opts ExportOptions) (*ExportResult, error)

Hyper-V:

func (c *Client) ExportVMWithOptions(ctx context.Context, vmName string, opts ExportOptions) error

4. Thread Safety

All implementations use sync/atomic for progress tracking:

// Atomic add returns new value
current := atomic.AddInt64(cpr.currentBytes, int64(n))

// Thread-safe read from any goroutine
value := atomic.LoadInt64(&progress)

Benefits:

$ go build ./cmd/hyperexport/...

Result: ✅ All packages compile successfully

Technical Highlights

1. Consistent API Design

All providers follow the same pattern:

// 1. Define options
opts := provider.DefaultExportOptions()
opts.OutputPath = "/exports"
opts.ProgressCallback = func(current, total int64, fileName string, fileIndex, totalFiles int) {
    // Update UI
}

// 2. Validate
if err := opts.Validate(); err != nil {
    return err
}

// 3. Export
result, err := client.ExportWithOptions(ctx, resourceID, opts)

2. Atomic Progress Tracking

Zero-lock progress updates:

// Writer goroutine
current := atomic.AddInt64(&totalBytes, bytesRead)
callback(current, totalBytes, fileName, 1, 1)

// Reader goroutine (UI thread)
progress := atomic.LoadInt64(&totalBytes)
updateProgressBar(progress)

3. Cancellation Support

All exports support context cancellation:

ctx, cancel := context.WithCancel(context.Background())
defer cancel()

// Export runs in goroutine
go func() {
    err := client.ExportWithOptions(ctx, id, opts)
    // ...
}()

// Cancel from main thread
if userPressedCancel {
    cancel()
}

Usage Examples

Simple Concurrent Export

var wg sync.WaitGroup

// Export 3 AWS instances concurrently
for _, id := range []string{"i-001", "i-002", "i-003"} {
    wg.Add(1)
    go func(instanceID string) {
        defer wg.Done()

        opts := aws.DefaultExportOptions()
        opts.OutputPath = "/exports/aws"
        opts.S3Bucket = "my-exports"
        opts.ProgressCallback = func(current, total int64, fileName string, fileIndex, totalFiles int) {
            pct := float64(current) * 100 / float64(total)
            log.Printf("%s: %.1f%%\n", instanceID, pct)
        }

        result, err := awsClient.ExportInstanceWithOptions(ctx, instanceID, opts)
        if err != nil {
            log.Printf("Export failed: %v\n", err)
            return
        }

        log.Printf("Exported to %s\n", result.LocalPath)
    }(id)
}

wg.Wait()

Progress Aggregation

type ProgressTracker struct {
    mu       sync.Mutex
    exports  map[string]*ExportProgress
}

type ExportProgress struct {
    Current  int64
    Total    int64
    FileName string
    Speed    float64
    Status   string
}

func (pt *ProgressTracker) CreateCallback(id string) func(int64, int64, string, int, int) {
    return func(current, total int64, fileName string, fileIndex, totalFiles int) {
        pt.mu.Lock()
        defer pt.mu.Unlock()

        pt.exports[id] = &ExportProgress{
            Current:  current,
            Total:    total,
            FileName: fileName,
            Status:   "downloading",
        }
    }
}

// Use in export
tracker := &ProgressTracker{exports: make(map[string]*ExportProgress)}
opts.ProgressCallback = tracker.CreateCallback(instanceID)

Multi-Cloud Concurrent Exports

// Export from multiple clouds simultaneously
var wg sync.WaitGroup

// AWS
wg.Add(1)
go func() {
    defer wg.Done()
    awsClient.ExportInstanceWithOptions(ctx, "i-001", awsOpts)
}()

// Azure
wg.Add(1)
go func() {
    defer wg.Done()
    azureClient.ExportDiskWithOptions(ctx, "disk1", azureOpts)
}()

// GCP
wg.Add(1)
go func() {
    defer wg.Done()
    gcpClient.ExportDiskWithOptions(ctx, "disk-1", gcpOpts)
}()

// Hyper-V
wg.Add(1)
go func() {
    defer wg.Done()
    hypervClient.ExportVMWithOptions(ctx, "VM-01", hypervOpts)
}()

wg.Wait()
log.Println("All cloud exports completed!")
