    Abstract: A method and related apparatus adaptively control snapshot replication of a plurality of server snapshots in a multi-tenant public cloud using snapshot service. A plurality of snapshot requests are received from a plurality of clients in the multi-tenant public cloud and are each associated with a service level agreement (SLA). The SLA includes a corresponding completion deadline and a slippage penalty. A probabilistic model calculates, for active snapshot flows, a completion time for each of the snapshot requests. If any of the predicted completion times exceed their corresponding completion deadlines, a possible MISS event is produced for an associated first snapshot. The snapshot controller component, in response to producing the possible MISS event, minimizes a probability of breaching fulfilment times for the multi-tenant cloud. The slippage penalty is calculated for each of the plurality of snapshot requests. A second snapshot is identified from among the plurality of snapshot requests.

    Abstract: Disclosed embodiments provide techniques for multi-destination probabilistic data replication. Data transfer occurs over multiple time intervals. A data image to be transferred is divided into chunks. A manifest is created that lists each chunk and specifies an order, such that the data image can be reconstructed at its destination. The manifest is sent to the destination. The chunks may be sent to the destination, or to an aggregator site that then forwards the chunks to the destination. The chunks are reassembled at the destination based on information in the manifest. A probabilistic function is used to select an aggregator site based on an efficacy. The efficacy is based on a reward function that is computed for destinations for each time interval. A data transfer policy is periodically updated with a new efficacy value which is used for adjustment of the probabilistic function.

    Abstract: Adaptive control of deadline-constrained workload migrations can include monitoring migrations of workloads forming a wave migrating from a source computing node to a target computing node. The monitoring can be performed in real time. The migrations can be performed by transferring image replications of each workload over a data communication network. Based on an expected bandwidth availability, a likelihood that a cutover deadline associated with the wave is exceeded prior to completing a migration of each of the wave's workloads can be predicted. Migration of one or more selected workloads can be suspended in response to determining that exceeding the cutover deadline prior to completing migration of each of the wave's workloads is likely.

    Abstract: In an approach, a processor receives a request to deploy a workload in a container environment, where: the container environment comprises a plurality of external providers running container environment clusters; and the request (i) includes one or more requirements of the workload and (ii) does not specify a particular external provider of the plurality of external providers. A processor determines a cluster, from the plurality of external providers running the container environment clusters, that meets the one or more requirements of the workload. A processor deploys the workload on the determined cluster.
