Abstract
Methods and apparatus to select virtualization environments are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a logic circuit, a workload analyzer to determine characteristics of a virtualized application, a score generator to compare the characteristics of the virtualized application to a plurality of virtualization environment types to determine scores for each of the plurality of virtualization environment types, the scores based on rules that identify different scores for combinations of characteristics and virtualization environment types, and a workload deployer to deploy the virtualized application using one of the plurality of virtualization environment types based on the scores.
Claims21
An apparatus comprising:
- a logic circuit;
- a workload analyzer to determine characteristics of a virtualized application;
- a score generator to compare the characteristics of the virtualized application to a plurality of virtualization environment types to determine scores for each of the plurality of virtualization environment types, the scores based on rules that identify different scores for combinations of characteristics and virtualization environment types;
- and
- a workload deployer to deploy the virtualized application using one of the plurality of virtualization environment types based on the scores.
A computer readable storage disk or device comprising instructions that, when executed, cause a processor to at least:
- determine characteristics of a virtualized application;
- compare the characteristics of the virtualized application to a plurality of virtualization environment types to determine scores for the virtualization environment types, the scores based on rules that identify different scores for combinations of characteristics and virtualization environment types;
- and
- deploy the virtualized application using one of the plurality of virtualization environment types based on the scores.
A method comprising:
- determining, by executing an instruction via a processor, characteristics of a virtualized application;
- comparing, by executing an instruction via the processor, the characteristics of the virtualized application to a plurality of virtualization environment types to determine scores for the virtualization environment types, the scores based on rules that identify different scores for combinations of characteristics and virtualization environment types;
- and
- deploying the virtualized application using one of the plurality of virtualization environment types based on the scores.
