Policy-based optimization of cloud resources on tiered storage operations

摘要

A method for allocating cloud resources in a cloud computing system based on tiered storage data movement includes: transmitting a request to a tiered storage system to provide a notification of a data movement initiated by a tiered storage system, where the data movement comprises moving data associated with the cloud computing system from a first storage tier to a second storage tier, and the notification comprises an indication of a condition for initiating the data movement; receiving the notification from the tiered storage system; identifying, using the received notification, a hosted computing environment having a volume associated with the data movement; determining whether to change an allocation of resources to the hosted computing environment; and changing the allocation of resources to the hosted computing environment response to determining to change the allocation of resources to the hosted computing environment.
