Identifying correlated resource behaviors for resource allocation

Abstract:

A distributed system may implement identifying correlated workloads for resource allocation. Resource data for resources hosted at resource hosts in a distributed system may be analyzed to determine behavioral similarities. Historical behavior data or resource configuration data, for instance, may be compared between resources. Behaviors between resources may be identified as correlated according to the determined behavioral similarities. An allocation of one or more resource hosts in the distributed system may be made for a resource based on the behaviors identified as correlated. For instance, resources may be migrated from a current resource host to another resource host, new resources may be placed at a resource host, or resources may be reconfigured into different resources. Machine learning techniques may be implemented to refine techniques for identifying correlated behaviors.
