摘要： A method for load balancing virtual machines includes accessing specification and utilization information for selected networked hardware platforms published on a network, the networked hardware platforms configured to run virtual machines and scoring the selected networked hardware platforms based on parameters from the utilization information to indicate resource availability for each of the selected networked hardware platforms. The method also includes removing a networked hardware platform from the selected networked hardware platforms based on a collocation policy to produce candidate platforms to receive a first virtual machine, wherein the collocation policy prohibits placement of the first virtual machine on the networked hardware platform based on at least one of consumer rules, provider rules, and industry rules.

摘要： A method for virtual machine management that includes establishing a first virtual machine on a hardware platform, performing a selected task on the first virtual machine and recording a first data set indicating a characteristic of the first virtual machine performing the selected task. The method also includes establishing a second virtual machine on the hardware platform, performing the selected task on the first and second virtual machines, recording a second data set indicating the characteristic of the first and second virtual machines performing the selected task and indicating acceptable data and unacceptable data within the first and second data sets. The method also includes creating and training a decision tree based on the acceptable and unacceptable data from the first and second data sets and inputting a third data set from a third virtual machine into the decision tree to determine if the third virtual machine is over-constrained.

摘要： A continuously operating system is provided and includes a processor and a computer readable medium to which the processor is operatively coupled, the computer readable medium having executable instructions stored thereon which, when executed, cause the processor to continuously load an operating system and to simultaneously operate as at least first and second mechanisms. The first mechanism loads a new module, which is a new version of an in-memory module of the operating system, into the operating system, and the second mechanism isolates and interrupts current access to the in-memory module such that subsequent access is to the new module.

摘要： A system and computer program product for migrating contents of a memory on a virtual machine. The system includes a source virtual machine executing on a host system, the source virtual machine including a memory. The system also includes a hypervisor executing on the host system. The hypervisor is in communication with the source virtual machine and includes instructions. The instructions facilitate establishing communication from the source virtual machine to a target virtual machine, the source virtual machine including a memory. The contents of the memory on the source virtual machine are transmitted to the target virtual machine. The contents of the memory on the source virtual machine include a plurality of pages. It is determined if all or a subset of the pages have been modified on the source virtual machine subsequent to being transmitted to the target virtual machine. If it is determined that all or a subset of the pages have been modified, then the modified pages, including a page location and page content for each of the modified pages, are transmitted to the target virtual machine. The determining and transmitting the modified pages continues until the number of remaining pages that have been modified is less than a threshold. The virtual machine is then paused the remaining pages are transmitted to the target virtual machine.
