INTELLIGENT DYNAMIC SCALING BASED ON INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL INDICATORS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17733955 titled 'INTELLIGENT DYNAMIC SCALING BASED ON INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL INDICATORS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes techniques for allocating computing resources in a cloud computing system.

  • The computing resources consist of multiple computing devices that host virtual machines.
  • The techniques involve determining an expected usage profile based on various data sources.
  • The first data represents the current demand for computing resource usage in the network.
  • The second data represents the adjacent demand for computing resource usage in the network.
  • The third data represents the historical demand for computing resource usage in the network.
  • The fourth data represents external events that may impact the computing network.
  • By considering these data sources, the system can allocate resources more effectively and efficiently.


Original Abstract Submitted

Techniques are disclosed for allocating computing resources in a computing network of a cloud computing system, the computing resources comprising a plurality of computing devices hosting virtual machines. An expected usage profile is determined based on first data indicative of a current demand for computing resource usage in the computing network, second data indicative of an adjacent demand for computing resource usage in the computing network, third data indicative of a historical demand for computing resource usage in the computing network, and fourth data indicative of events that are external to the computing network.
