Abstract: A system and method for managing resources in a distributed computer system that includes at least one resource pool for a set of virtual machines (VMs) utilizes a set of desired individual VM-level resource settings that corresponds to target resource allocations for observed performance of an application running in the distributed computer system. The set of desired individual VM-level resource settings are determined by constructing a model for the observed application performance as a function of current VM-level resource allocations and then inverting the function to compute the target resource allocations in order to meet at least one user-defined service level objective (SLO). The set of desired individual VM-level resource settings are used to determine final RP-level resource settings for a resource pool to which the application belongs and final VM-level resource settings for the VMs running under the resource pool, which are then selectively applied.

Abstract: Systems and methods for finding solutions exhaustively in distributed load balancing are provided. A plurality of virtual machines (VMs) is in communication with a virtual machine management server (VMMS). The VMMS is configured to generate a matrix that represents a mapping of a plurality of virtual machines (VMs) to a plurality of hosts and to calculate a first imbalance metric of the matrix. The VMMS is also configured to identify a plurality of candidate migrations the VMs. The VMMS searches through the solution space efficiently and can perform an exhaustive search to find the optimal solution. For each candidate migration, the VMMS is configured to alter the matrix to represent the candidate migration and to calculate a candidate imbalance metric based on the altered matrix. The VMMS is also configured to determine which candidate migration to perform based at least in part on the candidate imbalance metric for each candidate migration and the first imbalance metric.

Abstract: A module and method for automatically scaling a multi-tier application, wherein each tier of the multi-tier application is supported by at least one virtual machine, selects one of reinforced learning and heuristic operation based on a policy to recommend a scaling action from a current state of the multi-tier application. If reinforced learning is selected, the reinforced learning is applied to select the scaling action from a plurality of possible actions for the multi-tier application in the current state. If heuristic operation is selected, the heuristic operation is applied to select the scaling action using a plurality of defined heuristics.

Abstract: A system and method for autoscaling a multi-tier application, that has components executing on a plurality of tiers of a virtual data center, allocates resources to each of the plurality of tiers based on cost and performance. An application performance is determined, and a new application performance is estimated based at least partially on an application reservation and an application limit. An optimized utility of the application is calculated based on the cost to execute the application, the application reservation, and the application limit. A scaling factor for each tier is then determined to scale up or down a number of virtual machines operating in each of the tiers.

Abstract: Disclosed are aspects of resource allocation diagnosis for distributed computer systems. In one example, a current snapshot of a distributed computing system is created. A current resource allocation of the distributed computing system is computed using the current snapshot of the distributed computing system. A modified snapshot is generated using the current snapshot. The modified snapshot includes a user modification. A hypothetical resource allocation is computed using the modified snapshot. A user interface includes the current resource allocation and the hypothetical resource allocation.

Abstract: A method for adjusting the configuration of host computers in a cluster on which virtual machines are running in response to a failed change in state is disclosed. The method involves receiving at least one reason a change in state failed the present check or the future check, associating the at least one reason with at least one remediation action, wherein the remediation action would allow the change in state to pass both a present check and a future check, assigning the at least one remediation action a cost, and determining a set of remediation actions to perform based on the cost assigned to each remediation action. In an embodiment, the steps of this method may be implemented in a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having instructions that, when executed in a computing device, causes the computing device to carry out the steps.
