Abstract

A computer-implemented method includes: monitoring, by a computing device, computing resource utilization by a plurality of virtual computing components sharing a same kernel; monitoring, by the computing device, transaction counts produced by the plurality of virtual computing components; determining, by the computing device, that the transaction counts increase by less than a threshold number as the computing resource utilization increases; and creating, by the computing device, an additional virtual computing component on a separate kernel based on determining that the transaction counts increase by less than a threshold number as the computing resource utilization increases.
