AUTOMATIC TUNING OF VIRTUAL DATA CENTER RESOURCE UTILIZATION POLICIES

摘要

A computer-implemented process receives a request to utilize one or more virtual data center (VDC) resources at a virtual data center and determines a particular service level applicable to request. Based on the particular service level and mapping information that indicates associations between VDC resource utilization policies and service levels, the process determines a particular VDC resource utilization policy corresponding to the request and causes completion of the request according to the particular VDC resource utilization policy. Another process determines that a resource utilization performance is incompatible with a requested service level and selects a new resource utilization based in part on the resource utilization performance information and mapping information. The process causes data distributed according to a prior resource utilization policy to be distributed according to the new resource utilization policy in one or more resources at a virtual data center.

1. A method comprising:
using resource administrator logic executed using a digital electronic computing device, receiving a request to utilize one or more virtual data center (VDC) security resources, wherein the VDC is remote with respect to the computing device; in response to receiving the request, using the resource administrator logic executed using the computing device, determining a particular service level applicable to the request; determining, using the resource administrator logic executed using the computing device, based on the particular service level and mapping information that indicates associations between VDC security policies and service levels, a particular VDC security policy corresponding to the request; causing completion of the request by utilizing one or more security properties of VDC security resources associated with the particular service level; wherein the method is performed by executing the resource administrator logic whose execution is controlled by a management entity that is different than a host of the VDC.
