Generating metrics for quantifying computing resource usage based on cost and utilization of virtualized services and optimizing performance through virtualized service migration

Abstract:

Various examples are disclosed for generating metrics for quantifying computing resource usage. A computing environment can identify a computing function that utilizes a plurality of computing services hosted in at least one virtual machine. The computing environment can determine a first cost metric for the at least one virtual machine based on hardware resources used by the at least one virtual machine and determine a second cost metric for individual ones of the computing services based on virtual machine resources used by the individual ones of the computing services and the first cost metric. A third cost metric can be determined for the computing function as a function of the second cost metric and a utilization ratio.
