An Algorithm for Migration and Resource Planning in Cloud Technologies

Cloud technologies are currently rising and many companies are working to deploy and operate their infrastructure using a private cloud that is run on their own resources and where they want to get the most out of their operation and usage. The operation of such infrastructure is sensitive to resource planning, and it is necessary to plan these resources and use them in a deliberate manner. This article deals with resource planning and the algorithm for solving the migration of a virtual instance (virtual machine or virtual appliance) to the most appropriate hypervisor using an analysis of the usage of virtual instance and physical hypervisors in the past. This algorithm collects data from agent on infrastructure and evaluates the load of individual components (hypervisors and virtual instances). Based on these data can migrate instances between hypervisors and increase the efficiency of the environment.
