US 2019/0163517 A1 · PREDICTIVE RIGHTSIZING FOR VIRTUAL MACHINES IN CLOUD COMPUTING SYSTEMS

Abstract

Various embodiments, methods, and systems for implementing a predictive rightsizing system are provided. Predicted rightsized deployment configurations are generated for virtual machine “VM” deployments having deployment configurations that are modified to predicted rightsized deployment configurations based on a prediction engine. In operation, a VM deployment, associated with a request to deploy one or more VMs on a node, is accessed at a predictive rightsizing controller. A predicted resource utilization for the VM deployment is generated at the prediction engine and accessed at the predictive rightsizing controller. The predicted resource utilization is generated based on a prediction engine that uses past behaviors and features associated with previous VM deployments. Based on the predicted resource utilization, a predicted rightsized deployment configuration is generated for the VM deployment. The predicted rightsized deployment configuration is communicated such that the request to deploy the VMs is executed based on the predicted rightsized deployment configuration.
