TIERED EVICTION OF INSTANCES OF EXECUTING PROCESSES

摘要

In one example embodiment, an instance of a virtual machine to evict may be identified. A determination may be made within a predetermined range of probabilities, that processing on the identified instance of the virtual machine will resume within a predetermined range of time. Thus, the identified instance of the virtual machine may be softly evicted by allocating processing resources away from the identified instance of the virtual machine, receiving an instruction to resume the processing on the identified instance of the virtual machine, and restoring the processing on the identified instance of the virtual machine.
