Abstract
The sizing of virtual machines is optimized based on projected performance metrics. All virtual machine configuration resources are normalized by a processing device. The normalized resources for the virtual machine configurations are then stored in a catalog. An application is then profiled to obtain resource demand estimates for each virtual machine configuration and a base performance is calculated for the application. The base performance is used to predict performance estimates on all virtual machine configurations in the catalog. Accordingly, a virtual machine configuration having a lowest response time is selected.
