Abstract
A method comprises determining an amount of central processing unit (CPU) usage by a driver domain on behalf of a given virtual machine (VM) over a measurement period. The method further comprises determining a share of CPU to schedule for the given VM for a plurality of future scheduling intervals based at least in part on the determined amount of CPU usage by the driver domain on behalf of the given VM over the measurement period. The method further comprises scheduling the determined share of CPU access to the given VM for the plurality of future scheduling intervals.
