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, or that the first software application is to be separated from the second software application during execution of the first and second software applications. A target computing resource container is selected based on the placement rule and a computing resource container that is associated with the first software application. The second software application is associated with the target computing resource container, and the placement rule may be provided to the target computing resource container.

1. A system for associating a virtual machine (VM) with a computing resource, the system comprising:
a memory for storing a 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, wherein the first VM is associated with a first computing resource container; and a processor coupled to the memory and programmed to:
when the first VM is to be co-located with the second VM, associate the second VM with the first computing resource container and provide the placement rule to the first computing resource container, wherein the first computing resource enforces the placement rule; andwhen the first VM is to be separated from the second VM and no second computing resource container is available, associate the second VM with the first computing resource container and provide the placement rule to the first computing resource container, wherein the first computing resource container enforces the placement rule.
