SOFTWARE APPLICATION PLACEMENT USING COMPUTING RESOURCE CONTAINERS

摘要

Embodiments associate software applications with computing resource containers based on placement rules. A placement rule indicates that a first software application is to be co-located with a second software application during execution of the first and second software applications and second placement rule indicates that the first software application is to be separated from the second software application when the second placement rule is violated by enforcing the first placement rule. The placement rule also indicates that the first software application is to be separated from the second software application during execution of the first and second software applications and the second placement rule indicates the first software application is to be co-located with the second software application when the second placement rule is violated by enforcing the first placement rule.

主权项

1. A system for associating a virtual machine (VM) with a computing resource, the system comprising:
a memory for storing at least a first placement rule and a second placement rule, the first placement rule indicating one of the following: that a first virtual machine (VM) is to be co-located with a second VM during execution of the first and a second VM, or that the first VM is to be separated from the second VM during execution of the first and second VMs; and a processor programmed to:
when the first VM is to be co-located with the second VM under the first placement rule, separate the first VM from the second VM when the second placement rule is violated by enforcing the first placement rule; andwhen the first VM is to be separated from the second VM under the first placement rule, co-locate the first VM with the second VM when the second placement rule is violated by enforcing the first placement rule.
