Workload scheduling across heterogeneous resource environments

Abstract:

Systems for distributed resource management. A method for deploying two or more computing workloads across heterogeneous computing systems commences upon establishing network communications between an on-premises computing system and a cloud computing system. Resource data corresponding to the on-premises resources and the cloud resources are collected continuously and saved as a time series history of observations. Upon a user request or other event, workload placement planning commences. A set of workload placement plans are generated, which workload placement plans are then evaluated in accordance with one or more quantitative objectives. Scheduling commands to carry out the workload placement plans are generated. A first portion of the scheduling commands is executed at the cloud computing system, and another portion of the scheduling commands is executed at the on-premises computing system.
