IDENTIFYING CANDIDATE WORKLOADS FOR MIGRATION

摘要

Techniques for identifying a candidate workload which may be a suitable candidate for migration from a first location to a second location are described herein. A set of suitability measurements associated with a computer system resource operating in the first location is received, the set of suitability measurements including, for example, resource usage values for one or more resources associated with the workload. Based at least in part on one or more statistical calculations on the set of suitability measurements exceeding one or more thresholds, recommendations are made about whether to migrate the workload from the first location to the second location.

1. A computer-implemented method for migrating a candidate workload from a first operating environment to a second operating environment, comprising:
under the control of one or more computer systems configured with executable instructions,
receiving a resource usage profile associated with the candidate workload, the resource usage profile specifying a set of resource usage values associated with operating the candidate workload in the first operating environment, the resource usage values specifying one or more load measurements associated with one or more computer system resources;determining one or more scaled resource usage metrics, the scaled resource usage metrics based at least in part on dividing a standard deviation of a subset of the set of resource usage values in the resource usage profile by a mean of the subset of the set of resource usage values in the resource usage profile; andproviding a recommendation for migrating the workload from the first operating environment to the second operating environment, the recommendation based at least in part on one or more of the one or more scaled resource usage metrics exceeding one or more threshold values.
