Abstract

See full text

A method, system and computer program product for optimizing runtime performance of an application workload. Network input/output (I/O) operations between virtual machines of a pattern of virtual machines servicing the application workload in a private cloud are measured over a period of time and depicted in a histogram. A score is generated for each virtual machine or group of virtual machines in the pattern of virtual machines based on which range in the ranges of I/O operations per seconds (IOPS) depicted in the histogram has the largest sample size and the number of virtual machines in the same pattern that are allowed to be in the public cloud. In this manner, the runtime performance of the application workload is improved by minimizing the network input/output communications between the two cloud environments by migrating those virtual machine(s) or group(s) of virtual machines with a score that exceeds a threshold value.
