INTELLIGENTLY SUGGESTING COMPUTING RESOURCES TO COMPUTER NETWORK USERS

摘要

A method of improving resource performance in a hybrid cloud environment is provided. The hybrid cloud environment includes multiple cloud systems, each of which includes at least one resource that utilizes an application. The application of a resource is executed on a cloud system of a user. Performance of the application for a user is monitored to determine a base performance of the resource on the cloud system. The application with an additional resource is concurrently run on a shadow cloud system to determine an additional base performance of the additional resource, where the additional base performance of the additional resource, at least in part, defines a performance gain of the additional resource on the shadow cloud system. The user is notified of the performance gain of the additional resource on the cloud system, and a cloud service provider upsells the additional resource to the user.
