SYSTÈME ET PROCÉDÉ D'ÉTIQUETAGE DE RESSOURCES BASÉ SUR LA CONSOMMATION

摘要

A remote agent for managing virtual machines includes a persistent storage that stores backup/restoration policies. The remote agent includes a resource tagger that applies first tags to the virtual machines based on computing resource consumption of the virtual machines for providing services to clients. The remote agent includes a storage manager that obtains a backup generation request for a virtual machine of the virtual machines; in response to obtaining the backup generation request: makes a determination that a tag of the first tags is associated with the virtual machine; in response to the determination: generates a composite workflow based on: a computing resource limitation indicated by the tag and a backup policy of the backup/restoration policies associated with the virtual machine; and generates a backup for the virtual machine based on the composite workflow.
