摘要： Methods and systems for determining prices of customized virtual machines required to process customer-specified workloads are disclosed. A count of instances of the customized virtual machines, required to process the customer-specified workloads is determined, based on a configuration of the customized virtual machines. The instances of the customized virtual machines are consolidated on virtual machine servers. Further, the prices of the customized virtual machines are determined based on a count of the virtual machine servers, unused resources in the virtual machine servers, and unused resources in the customized virtual machines. The determined prices are recommended to the customer. Further, at least one of the prices of the customized virtual machines or the configuration of at least one or more customized virtual machines is modified, based on a response to the recommendation received from the customer.

摘要： Methods and systems for recommending one or more computational resources. A portion of computational resources is determined from a set of computational resources associated with a datacenter based on a user-profile associated with a user, from one or more users, and the set of computational resources. The user-profile comprises at least one of a required performance level, a required load, or a cost constraint. The one or more computational resources are recommended from the portion of computational resources, in response to requests received from the one or more users.

摘要： A method and a system are provided for provisioning an application on one or more physical machines by use of operating system (OS) containers to resolve OS process overheads. The method includes receiving a first set of parameters and service level agreements (SLAs) of the application. The method further includes extracting a second set of parameters of each of the one or more physical machines. Further, the method includes determining a count of OS containers to deploy in parallel for each physical machine, based on the first set of parameters of the application and the second set of parameters of the each physical machine. The method further includes processing the application on the each physical machine based on at least the plurality of the determined count of OS containers such that a second provision time of the application is less or equal to the first provision time.

摘要： Methods and systems for determining incentives for sharing one or more computational resources in a network. A request from a resource requester is received for executing a workload. The request comprises a service level agreement (SLA) associated with said execution of said workload. A contribution of one or more computational resources, associated with a resource provider, in satisfying said SLA is determined based at least on a capacity associated with said one or more computational resources, a duration of a usage of said one or more computational resources for said execution, and one or more constraints included in said SLA. The incentives for said resource provider for said sharing of said one or more computational resources is determined based at least on said contribution.

摘要： A method provides a recommendation for a cloud configuration for deploying a service. In response to receiving a service request, a database is searched for a cloud configuration. The search is performed by acquiring a resource usage pattern for the service. The resource usage pattern is mapped to a multidimensional space, which is searched for a previously deployed cloud configuration having a similar resource usage pattern. In response to finding a previously deployed cloud configuration, the activity management is determined for the previously deployed cloud configuration. A recommendation is made based on the activity management.

摘要： A method and system identifies a cloud configuration for deploying a software application. A performance of a target application and workload is characterized. A set of benchmark applications is then deployed into at least one target cloud infrastructure. The target infrastructure is characterized using the set of benchmarking applications. The performance of the target application is represented with a set of bins each corresponding to a resource subsystem of a virtual machine and a performance score that is required to deploy the target application and meet the target performance. The bins are filled with performance values for selected target virtual machines. Using the filled bins, a set of virtual machines needed to satisfy the target cloud infrastructure is determined. A recommendation is provided for the set of virtual machines to use in deploying the software application.

摘要： The disclosed embodiments illustrate methods and systems for processing crowd-sensed data to generate actionable insights of geographical areas. The method includes extracting the crowd-sensed data, corresponding to one or more events in a geographical area, from one or more data sources. The extracted crowd-sensed data is stored in a storage device based on at least a time, a location, and an event category associated with the extracted crowd-sensed data. The method further includes aggregating the stored crowd-sensed data based on at least the location and the event category. The method further includes rendering graphical distributions of the one or more events in the geographical area, based on at least the aggregated data, on a user interface displayed on a display screen of a computing device. The graphical distributions of the one or more events are representative of the actionable insights of the geographical area.
