Abstract

A method of managing virtual resources executing on a hardware platform that employs sensors to monitor the health of hardware resources of the hardware platform, includes filtering sensor data from the hardware platform and combining the sensor data with a fault model for the hardware platform to generate a health score, receiving an inventory that maps the virtual resources to the hardware resources of the hardware platform, receiving resource usage data describing use of the hardware resources of the hardware platform by the virtual resources, and generating resource utilization metrics from the resource usage data. The method includes receiving policy data specifying rules applicable to the inventory, determining a set of recommendations for changes to the inventory based on the health score, the resource usage data, and the policy data, and executing at least one recommendation to implement the changes to the inventory.
