Abstract

A method of dynamic resource allocation for a virtual machine cluster is to calculate the resource usage weight of the respective virtual machine, the resource usage weight of the respective physical machine, and the average resource usage weight of the physical machines, to pick the physical machine with the greatest resource usage weight as the migration source machine, to pick the physical machine with the least resource usage weight as the migration object machine, and to move the virtual machine in the migration source machine with the resource usage weight thereof being closest to the migration difference value to the migration object machine to achieve the effect of load balancing.
