Abstract

See full text

Systems and articles of manufacture for improving virtual machine-to-image affinity on a physical server include identifying physical machines in a network as candidate source physical machines, wherein each candidate source physical machine stores a first virtual machine image and a set of additional virtual machine images, identifying physical machines in the network as candidate target physical machines, wherein each candidate target physical machine stores one of the additional virtual machine images, and selecting a virtual machine image from the set of additional virtual machine images and selecting a physical machine from the candidate target physical machines such that migrating the selected virtual machine image from a candidate source physical machine to the selected target physical machine results in a maximized image affinity per virtual machine in comparison to each image migration scenarios for the set of additional virtual machine images.
