Abstract
Sizing an infrastructure configuration optimized for a workload mix includes: a) instructing a virtualized-aware testing service (VATS) test controller to perform a test of an initial infrastructure configuration in a virtualized environment, in which the test provides at least one test result; b) determining whether the at least one test result satisfies a predetermined requirement as identified in the workload mix; c) modifying at least one parameter of the initial infrastructure configuration to create a modified infrastructure configuration in response to the at least one test result failing to satisfy the predetermined requirement; d) instructing the VATS test controller to perform another test on the modified infrastructure configuration to generate another at least one test result; e) repeating steps b)-d) until a final infrastructure configuration that causes the another at least one test result to satisfy the predetermined requirement is identified; and f) outputting the final infrastructure configuration.
