Abstract
A system for optimizing configuration of a virtual machine running at least one process includes at least one virtual resource in a virtual machine executing on a computing device, an agent executing within the virtual machine, and a hypervisor. The at least one virtual resource has a configuration parameter. The agent identifies a name of at least one process currently executing on the virtual machine. The hypervisor alters, in response to receiving the identified name from the agent, a value of the configuration parameter.
Claims23
A method for optimizing configuration of a virtual machine running at least one process, the method comprising:
- specifying, by a hypervisor executing on a computing device, a configuration parameter of at least one virtual resource in a virtual machine executing on the computing device;
- identifying, by an agent executing in the virtual machine, a name of at least one process currently executing on the virtual machine;
- and
- altering, in response to the identification of the name, a value of the specified configuration parameter.
A computer readable medium having instructions thereon that when executed provide a method for optimizing configuration of a virtual machine running at least one process, the computer readable media comprising:
- instructions to specify, by a hypervisor executing on a computing device, a configuration parameter of at least one virtual resource in a virtual machine executing on the computing device;
- instructions to identify, by an agent executing in the virtual machine, a name of at least one process currently executing on the virtual machine;
- and
- instructions to alter, in response to the identification of the name, a value of the specified configuration parameter.
A system for optimizing configuration of a virtual machine running at least one process comprising:
- at least one virtual resource in a virtual machine executing on a computing device, the at least one virtual resource having a configuration parameter;
- an agent executing within the virtual machine and identifying a name of at least one process currently executing on the virtual machine;
- and
- a hypervisor altering, in response to receiving the identified name from the agent, a value of the configuration parameter.
