METHOD AND SYSTEM OF MANAGING RESOURCES IN A CLOUD COMPUTING ENVIRONMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17736643 titled 'METHOD AND SYSTEM OF MANAGING RESOURCES IN A CLOUD COMPUTING ENVIRONMENT

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a system and method for deploying virtual machines in a server farm based on the capacity needs of the server farm.

  • The system receives a request to deploy a new virtual machine (VM) in the server farm.
  • It determines if the cluster configuration property associated with the new VM specifies parameters for the new VM.
  • If parameters are specified, the system retrieves custom SKU parameter information or custom capacity parameter information for the new VM.
  • The system then deploys the new VM to the server farm with the custom SKU parameter or custom capacity parameter.


Original Abstract Submitted

A system and method for deploying virtual machines in a server farm based on capacity needs of the server farm includes receiving a request to deploy a new virtual machine (VM) in the server farm; determining that a cluster configuration property associated with the new VM specifies one or more parameters for the new VM; upon determining that the cluster configuration property associated with the new VM specifies one or more parameters for the new VM, retrieving at least one of a custom SKU parameter information or custom capacity parameter information for the new VM; and deploying the new VM to the server farm with at least one of the custom SKU parameter or custom capacity parameter.
