Abstract
Techniques for dynamically adapting cloud applications are described. A current value of a Key Performance Indicator (KPI) of an executing cloud service instance of a cloud application is detected. A determination is made as to whether the current value of the KPI is unacceptable (e.g., either it is outside of an acceptable range or is within an adaptation region). If the current value of the KPI is unacceptable, a first application programming interface (API) is invoked to request a cloud service instance monitor to adapt the cloud service instance to operate within an acceptable KPI range. If the cloud service instance monitor was unsuccessful, the unacceptable KPI is escalated to the cloud service monitor for the type of the cloud service instance. If the cloud service monitor is unsuccessful, the unacceptable KPI is escalated to the application monitor.
