Enhancing resource allocation for application deployment

Abstract:

In certain embodiments, a Service Deployment Infrastructure (SDI) instance is disclosed. The SDI instance can intelligently allocate resources of a rack to one or more virtual machines as part of provisioning a requested service. The SDI instance can use machine-learning techniques to evaluate historical data associated with a requested service. The machine-learning techniques can be used to generate one or more models that simulate the possible configurations of sizes for virtual machines for a particular service. The one or more models can be accessed at runtime to fit virtual machines of a requested service into servers of a rack in a manner that minimizes unused resources with multi-dimensional constraints.
