Abstract
In general, embodiments of the technology relate to determining availability of workloads executing on a multi-tenant system on a per-tenant basis. More specifically, embodiments of the technology determine workload availability by taking into account maintenance schedules of the workloads (or the underlying physical cloud infrastructure) and/or whether a given workload is redundant.
Claims20
A method for determining availability of workloads being performed in a private cloud environment that shares physical cloud infrastructure with a second private cloud environment, comprising:
- receiving a first request for an availability of a workload for a reporting duration;
- in response to the first request:
- obtaining availability records, for the workload, that specify, in part, a portion of the physical cloud infrastructure used by the private cloud environment;
- determining a reporting interval for the reporting duration;
- instantiating a workload report data structure using the reporting duration and the reporting interval;
- populating the workload report data structure using the availability records for the workload to obtain a populated workload report data structure;
- obtaining a maintenance schedule associated with the workload;
- updating at least a portion of the workload report data structure based on the maintenance schedule associated with the workload to obtain an updated workload report data structure;
- applying, to the updated workload report data structure, at least one allowance heuristic to obtain a final workload report data structure;
- and
- providing a response to the first request based on the final workload report data structure.

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising computer readable program code, which when executed by a computer processor enables the computer processor to:
- receive a first request for an availability of a workload being performed in a private cloud environment that shares physical cloud infrastructure with a second private cloud environment for a reporting duration;
- in response to the first request:
- obtain availability records, for the workload, that specify, in part, a portion of the physical cloud infrastructure used by the private cloud environment;
- determine a reporting interval for the reporting duration;
- instantiate a workload report data structure using the reporting duration and the reporting interval;
- populate the workload report data structure using the availability records for the workload to obtain a populated workload report data structure;
- obtain a maintenance schedule associated with the workload;
- update at least a portion of the workload report data structure based on the maintenance schedule associated with the workload to obtain an updated workload report data structure;
- apply, to the updated workload report data structure, at least one allowance heuristic to obtain a final workload report data structure;
- and
- provide a response to the first request based on the final workload report data structure.

A system, comprising:
- a workload being performed in a private cloud environment that shares physical cloud infrastructure with a second private cloud environment;
- a monitoring system configured to:
- receive a first request for an availability of a workload for a reporting duration;
- in response to the first request:
- obtain availability records, for the workload, that specify, in part, a portion of the physical cloud infrastructure used by the private cloud environment;
- determine a reporting interval for the reporting duration;
- instantiate a workload report data structure using the reporting duration and the reporting interval;
- populate the workload report data structure using the availability records for the workload to obtain a populated workload report data structure;
- obtain a maintenance schedule associated with the workload;
- update at least a portion of the workload report data structure based on the maintenance schedule associated with the workload to obtain an updated workload report data structure;
- apply, to the updated workload report data structure, at least one allowance heuristic to obtain a final workload report data structure;
- and
- provide a response to the first request based on the final workload report data structure.
