Applications that are based on the quality of shared resources and providing optimized quality of service to prioritized virtual machines

摘要

Quality of service is provided to prioritized VMs and applications based on different shared computer resources of different qualities. Each VM or application has an associated priority. A quality rating is dynamically assigned to each shared computer resource. A request for a shared computer resource created by a specific VMs or application is received. For each particular received request, the requesting VM or application current priority is identified. In response to each received request, a particular shared computer resource is allocated for a particular requesting VM or application. This allocation is made based on the current priority of the requesting VM or application and the current quality rating of the shared computer resource, so that the quality of service is equivalent to the current priority. Provided to existing VMs or applications.
