Techniques for workload toxic mapping

A method implemented in a non-transitory machine-readable storage medium and processed by one or more processors configured to perform the method, comprising:

• accessing a toxic map represented as one of:
• a table, a database, and a user-defined data structure having micro valuations taken at micro second intervals for a workload, a workload state for the workload, a processing environment, a processing environment state for the processing environment, resources used on the processing environment, and combinations of:
• the workload, the workload state, the processing environment, the processing environment state, and the resources;
• evaluating the micro valuations and relationships to the micro valuations as defined in the toxic map to produce results representing decisions, wherein an Application Programming Interface (API) processing command is used to determine a status for the processing environment and wherein evaluating further includes collecting at least some micro measurements as a particular time that a request to an external service takes to be answered;
• the toxic map is mined, in view of policy and based on decision rules, to provide conditions and scenarios deemed problematic within one or more of:
• the workload and the processing environment;
• packaging the results for delivery to a target principal.

A system, comprising:

• a processor configured with a toxic mapper represented as one of:
• a table, a database, and a user-defined data structure that resides and is implemented within a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium and that executes on the processor;
• and
• the processor or another processor of a network configured with a results packager that resides and is implemented within a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium that executes on the processor or the other processor;
• wherein the toxic mapper is configured to take micro valuations at micro second intervals of:
• a workload, a workload state for the workload, a processing environment, a processing environment state for the processing environment, resources within the processing environment, and combinations thereof, and wherein the results packager is configured to modify the micro valuations and derive automated decisions based on evaluations of the modified micro valuations defined in policies, the results packager further configured to package the decisions and deliver the decisions to a target principal for automated action by the target principal, and wherein a determination on a status for the processing environment is made using a processing command from an Application Programming Interface (API) command and wherein taking further includes collecting at least some micro measurements as a particular time that a request to an external service takes to be answered;
• the toxic map is mined, in view of policy and based on decision rules, to provide conditions and scenarios deemed problematic within one or more of:
• the workload and the processing environment.
