US 2017/0286148 A1 · Virtual Machine Scaling Method and Device

Abstract

A virtual machine (VM) scaling method and device is provided. The method includes determining a VM resource pool corresponding to an application when a new VM needs to be added for the application; searching, according to a parameter of the new VM that needs to be added for the application, the determined VM resource pool for a VM that conforms to the parameter; registering the conforming VM with a load balancer (LB); and starting the VM to provide a service for the application. A VM that conforms to a requirement of the application is selected from a pre-created VM resource pool, and the VM is registered to provide a service for the application when a new VM is to be added for an application.
