    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for optimizing the migration of processes or virtual machines in cluster memory systems. To begin, a first computing device can identify a set of pages allocated to a process or virtual machine hosted by the first computing device. Then, the first computing device can identify a subset of the allocated pages that have been accessed with a least a predefined frequency. Next, the first computing device can copy the subset of the allocated pages to a second computing device. Subsequently, the first computing device can copy a page mapping table to the second computing device, the page mapping table specifying which pages in the set of pages allocated to the process or virtual machine are stored by a memory host. Finally, the first computing device can copy remaining ones of the allocated pages to the second computing device.

    Abstract: The disclosure provides an approach for the dynamic configuration of virtualized objects. A virtual object may be associated with a desired state defining a first plurality of resources for allocating to the virtual object. The first plurality of resources correspond to one or more resource types. Techniques include determining that each of a plurality of hosts does not have sufficient available resources to allocate the first plurality of resources to the virtual object according to the desired state. Techniques include selecting, a first host of the plurality of hosts to run the virtual object. Techniques include allocating a second plurality of resources to the virtual object from the first host, wherein the second plurality of resources is less than the first plurality of resources, and running the virtual object in the first host.
