System and method for managing workloads using superimposition of resource utilization metrics

Abstract:

System and computer-implemented method for managing workloads in a computing environment use collected resource utilization metrics for a workload of a compute instance running in the computing environment that are superimposed to produce a unified time series of the resource utilization metrics for the workload. Undesired periodic patterns are then removed from the unified time series of the resource utilization metrics, which is used to identify the compute instance as a particular type of compute instances. Based on the identification, an action is recommended and implemented on the compute instance.
