Intelligent self-configuring decision method for the cloud resources management and orchestration

A cloud management system (CMS) comprising computer readable media including instructions performing a method for reducing the monitored-data load and the processing load/delay, the method comprising:

• applying a prediction process to provide predicted key performance indicator (KPI) values for a plurality of VMs managed by the CMS during a first monitoring epoch;
• collecting, during the first monitoring epoch, observed KPI values for the plurality of VMs managed by the CMS;
• assessing the accuracy of the prediction process by way of calculating, according to a reward function, reward values for the plurality of VMs based on a deviation between the observed KPI values and the predicted KPI values;
• and
• calculating a monitoring frequency for collecting monitoring information during a second monitoring epoch based on the reward values;
• and
• collecting the monitoring information during the second monitoring epoch according to the calculated monitoring frequency,
• wherein the monitoring information collected during the second monitoring epoch includes second epoch KPI values.
