DETERMINING VIRTUAL MACHINE PLACEMENT

摘要

A technique includes providing a candidate configuration for virtual machines specifying where the virtual machines are stored in a plurality of hardware containers. The candidate configuration is selectively modified to generate another candidate configuration specifying where the virtual machines are stored in the plurality of hardware containers based at least in part on communication capacities that are associated with the hardware containers. The placement of the virtual machines is determined based at least in part on the selective modification.

1. A method comprising:
providing a first candidate configuration for virtual machines specifying where the virtual machines are stored in a plurality of hardware containers; determining a benefit gained by modifying the first candidate configuration to change a hardware container from the plurality of hardware containers where at least one of the virtual machines is stored based at least in part on communication capacities associated with the plurality of hardware containers; selectively modifying the first candidate configuration to generate a second candidate configuration specifying where the virtual machines are stored in the plurality of hardware containers based at least in part on the determined benefit; and determining placement of the virtual machines based at least in part on the selective modification.
