Resource Provisioning Systems and Methods

摘要

Example resource provisioning systems and methods are described. In one implementation, an execution platform accesses multiple remote storage devices. The execution platform includes multiple virtual warehouses, each of which includes a cache to store data retrieved from the remote storage devices and a processor that is independent of the remote storage devices. A resource manager is coupled to the execution platform and monitors received data processing requests and resource utilization. The resource manager also determines whether additional virtual warehouses are needed based on the data processing requests and the resource utilization. If additional virtual warehouses are needed, the resource manager provisions a new virtual warehouse.

1. An apparatus comprising:
an execution platform configured to access a plurality of remote storage devices, the execution platform including a plurality of virtual warehouses, each virtual warehouse including a cache configured to store data retrieved from the remote storage devices and a processor that is independent of the remote storage devices; and a resource manager coupled to the execution platform and configured to:
monitor received data processing requests;monitor resource utilization in the plurality of virtual warehouses;determine whether additional virtual warehouses are needed based on the data processing requests and the resource utilization in the plurality of virtual warehouses; andresponsive to determining that an additional virtual warehouse is needed, provision a new virtual warehouse.
