US 2020/0005136 A1 · FRAMEWORK FOR PROVIDING RECOMMENDATIONS FOR MIGRATION OF A DATABASE TO A CLOUD COMPUTING SYSTEM

Abstract

To obtain one or more recommendations for the migration of a database to a cloud computing system, information about performance of the database operating under a workload may be obtained. A first machine learning model (e.g., a neural network-based autoencoder) may be used to generate a compressed representation of characteristics of the database operating under the workload. The compressed representation may then be provided as input to a second machine learning model (e.g., a neural network-based classifier), which outputs a recommendation regarding a characteristic (e.g., size, configuration, level of service) of the cloud database to which the database should be migrated. This type of recommendation may be made prior to migration, thereby making it easier to properly estimate the cost of running the cloud database and plan the migration accordingly.

Dependent claims

A method for providing one or more recommendations for migration of a database to a cloud computing system, comprising:

obtaining information associated with performance of the database operating under a workload;
generating, based at least on the information, a compressed representation of characteristics of the database operating under the workload using a first machine learning model;
determining at least one recommended characteristic for a cloud database using the compressed representation and a second machine learning model;
and
outputting the at least one recommended characteristic.

2 more elements

A system for providing one or more recommendations for migration of a database to a cloud computing system, comprising:

one or more processors;
and
memory comprising instructions that are executable by the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
obtaining information associated with performance of the database operating under a workload;
generating, based at least on the information, a compressed representation of characteristics of the database operating under the workload using a first machine learning model;
determining at least one recommended characteristic for a cloud database using the compressed representation and a second machine learning model;
and
outputting the at least one recommended characteristic.
