Abstract

Systems and methods are described for accurately determining which of a set of networked computing environments most closely approximates a target computing environment. The determination is based on executing a reference workload in the target computing environment and calculating a coefficient of equivalency for each of the networked computing environments, which relates the performance of one or more computing resources in the target computing environment to the corresponding resources in the networked computing environments. The coefficient of equivalency may further be used to determine which of a set of networked computing environments will provide a target level of performance when executing the workload. The target computing environment may be assessed in terms of time, cost, percentage of capacity utilized, or other criteria.

Claims20

Dependent claims

A computer-implemented method comprising:

obtaining a first resource profile for a target computing environment, the first resource profile for the target computing environment including:
at least one performance metric for at least one target computing resource, and
a first total utilization of the target computing environment when a first reference workload is executed in the target computing environment;
generating, for individual networked computing environments, a first expression representative of a comparison of a first total utilization of the individual networked computing environment relative to the first total utilization of the target computing environment, wherein the first expression is based at least in part on the first resource profile for the target computing environment and a resource profile for the individual networked computing environment;
and
selecting, based at least in part on the first expression for the individual networked computing environments, a first networked computing environment from the plurality of networked computing environments that approximates the target computing environment.

3 more elements

A system comprising:

a non-transitory computer-readable data store configured to store specific computer-executable instructions;
and
a computing device including a processor in communication with the non-transitory computer-readable data store, the processor configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to at least:
generate, for individual networked computing environments, a first expression representative of a comparison of a first total utilization of the individual networked computing environment relative to a first total utilization of a target computing environment, wherein the first expression is based at least in part on a first resource profile for the target computing environment and a resource profile for the individual networked computing environment;
and
select, based at least in part on the first expression for the individual networked computing environments, a first networked computing environment from the plurality of networked computing environments that approximates the target computing environment.
