Implementing a private network isolated from a user network for virtual machine deployment and migration and for monitoring and managing the cloud environment

摘要

A method, system and computer program product for optimizing quality of service settings for virtual machine deployment and migration. A first network (e.g., user network) is provided that is dedicated to running user workloads deployed on virtual machines. A second network (e.g., cloud management network), isolated from the first network, is also provided that is dedicated to virtual machine deployment and migration. As a result of the first and second networks not being shared, the administrative server utilizes unique quality of service settings for virtual machine deployment and migration supported by the second network that would otherwise not be possible if the first and second networks were shared.

1. A method for optimizing quality of service settings for virtual machine deployment and migration, the method comprising:
providing a first network dedicated to running user workloads deployed on virtual machines; providing a second network dedicated to virtual machine deployment and migration, wherein said second network is isolated from said first network and cannot be accessed directly by an end-user via said first network; receiving a network access request at an administrative server from a client, wherein said administrative server acts as an access point to analyze said request to identify said first network or said second network to process said network access request, wherein said network access request comprises a network attribute; identifying, by a management software of said administrative server, said first network or said second network to process said network access request by analyzing said network attribute; routing and processing said network access request on said first network in response to said network attribute being identified as a user workload; and routing and processing, by a processor, said network access request on said second network in response to said network attribute being identified as said virtual machine deployment and migration.
