Profile-based sla guarantees under workload migration in a distributed cloud

A cloud controller for migrating resources within a cloud network, the cloud controller comprising:

• a network interface;
• a memory;
• and
• a processor in communication with the memory, the processor being configured to:
• receive, via the network interface, performance metrics from at least one device within the cloud network,
• analyze the performance metrics to generate at least one application requirement, wherein the at least one application requirement indicates a recent performance associated with a resource provisioned for a customer, wherein the resource is supported by a first device within the cloud network,
• identify a second device within the cloud network to support the resource based on the at least one application requirement, and
• migrate the resource from the first device to the second device.

A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium encoded with instructions for execution by a cloud controller for migrating resources within a cloud network, the medium comprising:

• instructions for receiving performance metrics from at least one device within the cloud network;
• instructions for analyzing the performance metrics to generate at least one application requirement, wherein the at least one application requirement indicates a recent performance associated with a resource provisioned for a customer, wherein the resource is supported by a first device within the cloud network;
• instructions for identifying a second device within the cloud network to support the resource based on the at least one application requirement;
• and
• instructions for migrating the resource from the first device to the second device.
