Abstract
Managing resources in a VM cluster; allocation of resources among competing VMs. Assigning VMs to real devices, responsive to needs for resources: processor usage, disk I/O, network I/O, memory space, disk space. Assigning VMs responsive to needs for cluster activity: network response latency, QoS. Using predictive models of resource usage by VMs. Transferring VMs, improving utilization. Failing-soft onto alternative VM resources. Providing a resource buffer for collective VM resource demand. Transferring VMs to a cloud service that charges for resources.
