OPTIMAL DYNAMIC PLACEMENT OF VIRTUAL MACHINES IN GEOGRAPHICALLY DISTRIBUTED CLOUD DATA CENTERS

摘要

A computer-implemented method according to one embodiment includes identifying a set of virtual machines to be placed within a system, receiving characteristics associated with the set of virtual machines, determining characteristics associated with a current state of the system, determining a placement of the set of virtual machines within the system, based on the characteristics associated with the set of virtual machines and the characteristics associated with a current state of the system, determining an updated placement of all virtual machines currently placed within the system, based on the characteristics associated with the set of virtual machines and the characteristics associated with a current state of the system, and determining a migration sequence within the system in order to implement the updated placement of all virtual machines currently placed within the system.
