PHYSICAL RESOURCE ALLOCATION

摘要

Allocation of physical resources is achieved by accessing consumption data for each of a plurality of application components executing in one or more virtual machines and consuming a plurality of allocated physical resources. The consumption data is indicative of consumption levels by each of the plurality of application components of each of the plurality of physical resources. Following a determination that a value for a performance metric associated with the application has crossed an associated threshold value, the consumption data is analyzed to identify a consumption level of a first of the plurality of physical resources being consumed by a first of the plurality of application components has deviated from a historical trend for that physical resource. An instruction is then communicated that when executed will cause a change in an allocation level of the first of the plurality of physical resources.
