Allocation of Virtual Machines in Datacenters

摘要

A method of operating a datacenter comprising a plurality of hosts coupled by a network, the hosts being configurable to run a plurality of virtual machines, the method comprising: collecting network load information indicating a load of the network; determining a target allocation of one of the virtu machines at one of the hosts based on the collected network load information; and allocating the one virtual machine at the one host based on the determined target allocation.

1. A method of operating a datacenter comprising a plurality of hosts coupled by a network, the hosts being configurable to run a plurality of virtual machines, the method comprising:
collecting network load information indicating a load of the network; creating a network profile for a virtual machine based on the collected network load information and storing said network profile; determining a target allocation of one of the virtual machines at one of the hosts based on a comparison of a last profile sequence of the virtual machine to the stored network profile to predict a future behavior of the virtual machine; and allocating the one virtual machine at the one host based on the determined target allocation.
