Abstract
Methods and apparatuses for real-time adaptive placement of a virtual machine are provided. In an embodiment, a virtual machine is received at a routing component, the routing component having a processor in communication with a memory. By the processor in communication with the memory, a target data center is determined from a plurality of data centers based on a data center index, and the virtual machine is routed to the target data center. A physical machine is chosen within the target data center for placing the virtual machine.
