Dynamic resource allocation of cloud instances and enterprise application migration to cloud architecture

An apparatus, comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• a processor configured to
• identify current usage of a plurality of applications operating on an enterprise network and hosted by a virtual machine by requesting the current usage data from a hypervisor application programming interface (API), the current usage data comprising at least one of memory resources and processor resources of the virtual machine;
• compare the current usage data of an application to a threshold amount of usage data to determine whether the application has exceeded the threshold amount of usage data;
• when the current usage of the application has exceeded the threshold amount of usage data, migrate the application to an instance process outside the enterprise network as a migration location and an application instance of the application;
• terminate, by the hypervisor API, the application operating in the enterprise network hosted by the virtual machine;
• and
• wherein the application experiencing one or more of limited data access and application overuse is identified.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium configured to store instructions that when executed cause a processor to perform:

• identifying current usage of a plurality of applications operating on an enterprise network and hosted by a virtual machine by requesting the current usage data from a hypervisor application programming interface (API), the current usage data comprising at least one of memory resources and processor resources of the virtual machine;
• comparing the current usage data of an application among the plurality of applications to a threshold amount of usage data to determine whether the application has exceeded the threshold amount of usage data;
• when the current usage of the application has exceeded the threshold amount of usage data, migrating the application to an instance process outside the enterprise network as a migration location and an application instance of the application;
• terminating, by the hypervisor API, the application operating in the enterprise network hosted by the virtual machine;
• and
• wherein the application experiencing one or more of limited data access and application overuse is identified.
