METHODS, SYSTEMS, AND COMPUTER READABLE STORAGE DEVICES FOR ADJUSTING THE USE OF VIRTUAL RESOURCES PROVIDING COMMUNICATION SERVICES BASED ON LOAD

摘要

The use of virtual resources providing communication services is adjusted based on load. A determination is made, for a specific number range, whether the virtual telephone number mapping service instances dedicated to the specific number range are being. If the virtual telephone number mapping service instances dedicated to the specific number range are being underutilized, a virtual telephone number mapping service instance dedicated to the specific number range is selected for removal. A determination is also made, for the specific number range, whether a number of virtual telephone number mapping service instances dedicated to the specific number range is sufficient to handle requests for communication services. If the number of virtual telephone number mapping service instances dedicated to the specific number range is not sufficient to handle the requests, instantiation of a virtual telephone mapping instance is initiated.

1. A method, comprising:
receiving, by a processor, information indicative of performance of virtual telephone number mapping service instances dedicated to a specific number range associated with requests for communication services; determining, by the processor, for the specific number range, whether the virtual telephone number mapping service instances dedicated to the specific number range are being underutilized based on the received information; responsive to determining that the virtual telephone number mapping service instances dedicated to the specific number range are being underutilized, selecting, by the processor, a virtual telephone number mapping service instance dedicated to the specific number range for removal; and initiating, by the processor, removal of the selected virtual telephone number mapping service instance for handling the requests.
