DECENTRALIZED APPROACH TO AUTOMATIC RESOURCE ALLOCATION IN CLOUD COMPUTING ENVIRONMENT

Abstract:

According to some embodiments, a centralized resource provisioning system may associated with a plurality of end-user applications in a cloud-based computing environment. The centralized resource provisioning system may include a policy decision maker that generates a centralized recommendation for a computing resource of a first end-user application. An application decision maker may be associated with the first end-user application and generate a decentralized recommendation for the computing resource of the first end-user application. A machine controller of the centralized resource provisioning system may then arrange to adjust the computing resource for the first end-user application when both the centralized recommendation and the decentralized recommendation indicate that the adjustment is appropriate.
