Abstract
In some examples, a system associates, with a plurality of virtual resources deployed in a cloud environment, properties representative of characteristics of the virtual resources, the properties comprising a performance level of a virtual resource. The system receives a request to create a virtual resource in the cloud environment, and, in response to determining that properties of the virtual resource to be created for the request satisfy a criterion with respect to properties of a given virtual resource of the plurality of virtual resources, selects the given virtual resource as a candidate virtual resource for the request.
Claims20
A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium comprising instructions that, upon execution, cause a system to:
- associate, with each virtual resource of a plurality of virtual resources deployed in a cloud environment, properties representative of characteristics of the each virtual resource, wherein the properties comprise a performance level of a respective virtual resource of the plurality of virtual resources with which the properties are associated;
- monitor utilizations of the plurality of virtual resources deployed in the cloud environment to obtain properties of the plurality virtual resources, the properties comprising tag elements corresponding to each virtual resource of the plurality of virtual resources, wherein the tag elements indicate resource amount and performance;
- receive a request to allocate a virtual resource in the cloud environment;
- determine whether the properties of the virtual resource to be created for the request satisfy a criterion with respect to the properties associated with a given virtual resource deployed in the cloud environment by comparing the tag elements associated with the virtual resource and the properties associated with the given virtual resource and whether a utilization of the given virtual resource indicated by the tag elements of the properties of the given virtual resource is below a threshold;
- and
- in response to the determining, select the given virtual resource as a candidate virtual resource for the request without creating a new virtual resource within the cloud environment.

A system comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a non-transitory storage medium storing instructions executable on the processor to:
- associate, with each virtual resource of a plurality of virtual resources deployed in a cloud environment, properties representative of characteristics of the each virtual resource, wherein the properties comprise a performance level of a respective virtual resource of the plurality of virtual resources with which the properties are associated;
- monitor utilizations of the plurality of virtual resources deployed in the cloud environment to obtain properties of the plurality virtual resources, the properties comprising tag elements corresponding to each virtual resource of the plurality of virtual resources, wherein the tag elements indicate resource amount and performance;
- receive a request to allocate a virtual resource in the cloud environment;
- comparing properties of the virtual resource to be allocated for the request to the properties associated with the plurality of virtual resources;
- and
- determine whether the properties of the virtual resource to be created for the request satisfy a criterion with respect to the properties associated with a given virtual resource deployed in the cloud environment by comparing the tag elements associated with the virtual resource and the properties associated with the given virtual resource and whether a utilization of the given virtual resource indicated by the tag elements of the properties of the given virtual resource is below a threshold;
- and
- in response to the determining, select the given virtual resource as a candidate virtual resource for the request without creating a new virtual resource within the cloud environment.

A method performed by a system comprising a hardware processor, comprising:
- accessing information of a plurality of virtual machines or containers deployed in a cloud environment, the information comprising properties of virtual machines or containers, wherein the properties comprise a performance level of a respective virtual machine or container of the plurality of virtual machines or containers;
- monitoring utilizations of the plurality of virtual machines or containers deployed in a cloud environment to obtain properties of the plurality virtual resources, the properties comprising tag elements corresponding to each virtual resource of the plurality of virtual resources, wherein the tag elements indicate resource amount and performance;
- receiving a request to allocate a virtual machine or a container in the cloud environment;
- and
- determining whether the properties of the virtual resource to be created for the request satisfy a criterion with respect to the properties associated with a given virtual resource deployed in the cloud environment by comparing the tag elements associated with the virtual resource and the properties associated with the given virtual resource and whether a utilization of the given virtual resource indicated by the tag elements of the properties of the given virtual resource is below a threshold;
- and
- in response to the determining, selecting the given virtual resource as a candidate virtual resource for the request without creating a new virtual resource within the cloud environment.
