Configuring virtualization environments

摘要

A method includes determining historical resource metrics for a host, and determining a workload forecast for the host based on the historical resource metrics. The method also includes determining a first series of virtual resource configurations based on the workload forecast. Each virtual resource configuration corresponds to a respective virtual machine of a plurality of virtual machines from the host. Each virtual resource configuration includes a time interval of the workload forecast, a processing specification of the corresponding virtual machine, and a host assignment indicative of a corresponding target host of the plurality of hosts on which to run the corresponding virtual machine. The method further includes configuring each respective virtual machine according to each corresponding virtual resource configuration in the first series of virtual resource configurations.

1. A method, comprising:
determining historical resource metrics for a host of a plurality of hosts; determining a workload forecast for the host based on the historical resource metrics, wherein determining the workload forecast comprises predicting future resource metrics for the host; determining a first series of virtual resource configurations based on the workload forecast, wherein each virtual resource configuration corresponds to a respective virtual machine of a plurality of virtual machines from the host, and each virtual resource configuration comprises:
a time interval of the workload forecast indicative of a time span over which to run the corresponding virtual machine;a processing specification of the corresponding virtual machine, wherein the processing specification is determined based on the workload forecast and the time interval; anda host assignment indicative of a corresponding target host of the plurality of hosts on which to run the corresponding virtual machine; configuring each respective virtual machine according to each corresponding virtual resource configuration in the first series of virtual resource configurations; formatting for display the first series of virtual resource configurations; receiving an input indicative of an intent to decrease a re-configuration cost; determining a second series of virtual resource configurations by modifying each virtual resource configuration of the first series of virtual resource configurations such that each respective time interval is increased; and configuring each respective virtual machine according to each corresponding virtual resource configuration in the second series of virtual resource configurations.
