  • Patent number: 11816363
    Abstract: A computer implemented method manages virtual disks. A number of processor units detects attachment of a storage to a host operating system. The number of processor units mounts the storage to a set of mount points. The number of processor units creates a set of virtual disks and assigning, by the number of processor units, the set of virtual disks to a guest in operation in which instructions for the operation are performed without interruption. According to other illustrative embodiments, a computer system and a computer program product for managing virtual disks are provided.

  • Publication number: 20220050728
    Abstract: According to aspects of the present disclosure, systems, methods and computer program products can be provided for dynamic workload orchestration based on data complexity. Methods, computer program products and/or systems are provided for dynamic workload orchestration that perform the following operations: (i) receiving a workload for orchestration; (ii) computing complexity scores for respective portions of the workload, where the complexity scores are computed based at least on parameters describing data associated with the portions of the workload; and (iii) using an orchestration engine to assign the portions of the workload to corresponding compute resources, based on their respective complexity scores.
