Method and system for optimizing clusters of virtual machines in a cloud computing platform

摘要

A method and system for optimizing virtual machine (VM) instances (121) of an array (120) of virtual machines (VM) in a cloud computing platform (100) to avoid use of VM instances (121) whose performance has degraded. The process of optimizing VM instances (121) includes the steps of identifying and optimizing VM instances (121) whose performance has deteriorated in VM clusters (120). The performance of deficient VM instances can be optimized by requesting, for each deficient VM instance (121), that a corresponding replacement VM instance (121) be created by the laaS (170), and therefore, the maintenance of the highest performing VM instance of each pair of VM instances (121), deficient and replacement.
