Abstract

See full text

The current document is directed a resource-exchange system that facilitates resource exchange and sharing among computing facilities. The currently disclosed methods and systems employ efficient, distributed-search methods and subsystems within distributed computer systems that include large numbers of geographically distributed data centers to locate resource-provider computing facilities that match the resource needs of resource-consumer computing-facilities based on attribute values associated with the needed resources, the resource providers, and the resource consumers. The resource-exchange system monitors and controls resource exchanges on behalf of participants in the resource-exchange system in order to optimize resource usage within participant data centers and computing facilities. Virtual machines that provide the execution environment for multi-tiered applications described by hierarchically organized multi-tiered-application specifications are automatically distributed across one or more resource-provider-computing-facility hosts by the resource-exchange system.
