Abstract
A method and apparatus for substantially minimizing overhead over-provisioning costs in machine configurations is disclosed. The method involves the steps of: clustering a plurality of given machine configurations into a quantity of clusters less than or equal to a pre-specified amount; determining a respective dominant provisioning machine configuration for each cluster of the quantity of clusters; and determining an overall over-provisioning resource cost associated with the respective quantity of clusters and associated respective dominant provisioning machine configurations; and assigning to a mapping function the respective associated dominant provisioning machine configuration of each respective cluster of the quantity of clusters as the target for the given machine configurations of each respective cluster of the quantity of clusters. The method for substantially minimizing overhead over-provisioning costs in machine configurations provides advantages over systems known in the art by allowing minimization of average overhead due to over-provisioning costs as well as minimizing the maximum overhead due to over-provisioning costs.
