HYBRID SIMULATION IN A CLOUD COMPUTING ENVIRONMENT

摘要

A simulation mechanism manages deployment of a simplified computing solution (SCS) and a corresponding simulation model that simulates a scaled multiple of the SCS to allow a deployment configuration for a large scale computing solution to be determined and tested before actually deploying the large scale computing solution.

1. An apparatus comprising:
at least one processor; a memory coupled to the at least one processor; a simulation mechanism residing in the memory and executed by the at least one processor, wherein the simulation mechanism tests deployment of a computing solution before full deployment of the computing solution on computer resources; a deployment configuration for the computing solution in an initial state; wherein the simulation mechanism creates a simplified computing solution for the computing solution and a simulation model corresponding to the simplified computing solution, and dynamically scales up the simplified computing solution with the simulation model while monitoring the system performance and adjusting the deployment configuration; and wherein the simulation mechanism deploys the computing solution on the computer resources with the adjusted deployment configuration.
