Re: [Openstack] A blueprint on dynamic consolidation of virtual machines

Hi Diego, Thanks for your interest! My algorithms are based on analyzing historical data on the CPU utilization by VMs. The idea is to abstract from the application-specific details and make the system applicable to any kinds of workloads. The CPU utilization data are used to decide when VMs can b

Re: [Openstack] A blueprint on dynamic consolidation of virtual machines

Interesting stuff Diego. We have rolled out a local ( very basic consolidation process ) in our internal cloud. We detect the load and move it acorss data stores betwen high and low capacities and also so Load balancing of new Vms vs Datastore when provisioning new systems. Ravi. On Fri, Aug 17,

Re: [Openstack] A blueprint on dynamic consolidation of virtual machines

Hi Anton, really interesting stuff. We are also in very early stages in a research project to automate VM consolidation. Most of the studies focus on information taken from power supplies and physical devices. We are more interested in looking for patterns of applications usage (database hits, IO

[Openstack] A blueprint on dynamic consolidation of virtual machines

Hi All, I've recently submitted a blueprint describing my project of a framework for dynamic consolidation of virtual machines for OpenStack: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/dynamic-consolidation-of-virtual-mforachines
