System and method for customer provisioning in a utility computing platform

摘要

A virtualization control system may receive a set of parameters; and provision a virtual environment. The provisioning may include provisioning a set of resources for the virtual environment. An amount of resources, associated with the set of resources, may be based on the received set of parameters. The virtualization control system may monitor resource usage of the virtual environment; detect that usage of at least one resource, of the provisioned set of resources, exceeds a particular usage threshold; and enable, based on the detecting, a burst usage mode for the virtual environment. The enabling may include provisioning an additional set of resources for the virtual environment. The additional set of resources may include a greater amount of resources than the amount of resources that are provisioned based on the received set of parameters.

1. A method, comprising:
receiving, by a virtualization control system, a set of parameters; provisioning, by one or more processors of the virtualization control system, a virtual environment, the provisioning including:
provisioning a set of resources for the virtual environment, wherein an amount of resources, associated with the set of resources, is based on the received set of parameters; monitoring resource usage of the virtual environment; detecting that usage of at least one resource, of the provisioned set of resources, exceeds a particular usage threshold; and enabling, by the one or more processors of the virtualization control system and based on the detecting, a burst usage mode for the virtual environment, the enabling including:
provisioning an additional set of resources for the virtual environment, wherein the additional set of resources includes a greater amount of resources than the amount of resources that are provisioned based on the received set of parameters,wherein the amount of resources, in the additional set of resources, is limited to the greater of:
an amount of resources that is a predetermined multiple of the amount of resources that are provisioned based on the received set of parameters, oran amount of resources, in a pool of resources, that are available to the virtualization control system.
