  • Patent number: 11907096
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products are provided for creating a resource management testing environment. An initial population of databases is established in a database ring, having an in initial count of databases and different types of databases that are determined based on an initial database population model. The initial population model receives ring classification information for the database ring from a ring grouping model. A sequence of database population-change events is generated based on a model, to change the population of the databases over time in the ring. An orchestration framework performs testing of resource manager operations based on the model-defined initial population of databases and the model-defined populations of databases changed over time. Model-defined resource usage metrics for each database are utilized to test the resource manager operations. Resource usage metrics and database add/drop events of a production system are used to train the models.
