    摘要: A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer usable program product for managing a distributed software application. The process identifies metadata describing a set of dependencies of a set of software components in the distributed software application from data associated with the set of software components. The process then identifies a sequence for changing an operational state of the set of software components of the distributed software application from the metadata to form an identified sequence. Thereafter, the process changes the operational state of the set of software components using the identified sequence.

    摘要: Techniques for selectively off-loading workload across multiple data centers are disclosed. For example, a technique for processing a user request in accordance with a multiple data center environment comprises the following steps/operations. A user request is obtained at a first data center. The user request is classified based on one or more classification criterion. At least a portion of a workload associated with the classified user request is off-loaded to at least a second data center to be processed, wherein the off-loading step/operation is at least based on one or more administrative policies associated with at least one of the first data center and the second data center. The workload is processed such that the user request is at least substantially satisfied in accordance with a service level agreement for the requesting user.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a method for the customization of virtual machine images. The method comprises identifying and retrieving a virtual machine image template. A customized virtual machine image is created from the virtual machine image template. The customized virtual machine image template being created by identifying at least one file-system or memory image that is associated with the virtual machine image template, identifying within the at least one file-system or memory image at least one data set, wherein the at least one data set comprises metadata. The metadata contains information detailing the required execution context customization aspects for at least one specified image subset of the virtual machine. Execution context-specific information that is required to customize the image subset of the virtual machine is retrieved. Further, the image subset of the virtual machine is modified in accordance with the retrieved execution context-specific information.

    摘要: Coordinating tasks of performance management and application placement management in a dynamic fashion by: estimating capacity needs for various service classes of service requests; computing desired capacities of at least one application for said service requests; deciding whether the desired capacities are satisfied by a current application placement; making no change to current application placement if the desired capacities are satisfied; determining a new application placement based on the desired capacities and a projected load if the desired capacities are not satisfied; computing corresponding capacity constraints for all pairs of service classes and servers; and computing an optimal allocation of capacities among the service classes so as to optimize a quality of service.
