Abstract

See full text

There are provided a method for operating a cloud computing infrastructure. In one embodiment, the method performs allocation domain modeling and provides a cloud scheduler framework that takes as input desired optimization objectives and the workload constraints and efficiently produces a placement solution that satisfies the constraints while optimizing the objectives in a way that adjusts itself depending on the objectives. As the objectives change, e.g., due to actions from system administrators or due to changes in business policies, the system optimizes itself accordingly and still produces efficient and optimized placement solutions. The method constructs an Allocation Domain (AD) that is a particular facet for allocating a logical entity to a physical entity. An AD is created using: variables, functional definitions (functions of variables), and a policy specification that includes a Boolean expression (of the functional definitions).
