Abstract

See full text

Embodiments relate to systems and methods for introspective application reporting to facilitate virtual machine movement between cloud hosts. A set of aggregate usage history data can record consumption of processor, software, or other resources subscribed to by one or more users in a or clouds. A cloud management system can host a cloud-based operating system which can support a set of virtual machines via a set of guest operating systems that are virtualized in the operating system. One or more of the virtual machines can be configured with an introspection daemon which is configured to inspect the application set and configuration state of the associated virtual machine. The introspection daemon can generate an introspection report containing application inventories, execution states, and other information and transmit that report to the kernel of the cloud-based operating system. The kernel can receive that report and generate a set of migratable virtual machine images via a virtual machine image manager or other logic. Migrations of the encoded virtual machines and/or applications can be initiated at kernel level.
