Systems and methods for cloud deployment engine for selective workload migration or federation based on workload conditions

摘要

Embodiments relate to systems and methods for a cloud deployment engine for selective workload migration or federation based on workload conditions. A set of aggregate usage history data can record consumption of processor, software, or other resources subscribed to by one or more users in a or clouds. An entitlement engine can analyze the usage history data to identify a subscription margin and other trends or data reflecting short-term consumption trends. An associated deployment engine can analyze the short-term consumption trends, and generate a decision to either deploy any over-subscribed resources to a set of federated backup clouds, or to one or more new host clouds. In aspects, the decision to augment the capacity of the host cloud with either a cloud federation or a complete host cloud replacement can be based on a set of selection criteria, including the margin by which the resources are over-subscribed and/or whether the over-subscription is static, increasing or accelerating, among others.
