SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DYNAMIC MANAGEMENT OF VIRTUAL MACHINES IN A CLOUD COMPUTING ENVIRONMENT

摘要

The invention relates to a dynamic management system of virtual machines in a cloud computing environment, and a corresponding method, with application to the optimized management of the placement of virtual machines {VMi} on servers {Sj}, able to host one or several virtual machines, in this environment 1, in order to consolidate the physical infrastructure. The system is adapted to receive a placement request on all or part of the servers of N new virtual machines {VMn}, with N≥1, and includes a module for determining a plan for placing the N new virtual machines on the servers, and a module 3 for placing the N new virtual machines on the servers according to the determined investment plan. Module 2 determines a placement plan for the N new virtual machines and virtual machines already hosted on the servers, which includes the placement plan of the N new virtual machines on the servers and a plan for moving the virtual machines already hosted on the servers. , and module 3 makes it possible to move the virtual machines already present on the servers according to the determined travel plan.
