Abstract: A method for migrating virtual machine snapshots to application container platforms is disclosed. In one embodiment, such a method includes migrating, from a virtual machine platform to a volume on a container platform, a base disk file associated with a virtual machine. The base disk file has one or more delta disk files associated therewith, where each delta disk file records changes made to the virtual machine after a snapshot was taken. After migrating the base disk file, the method repeatedly performs the following for each delta disk file: takes a snapshot of the volume on the container platform; migrates the delta disk file from the virtual machine platform to the container platform; and writes the delta disk file to the volume. In certain embodiments, the delta disk files are written to the volume in an order in which they were created on the virtual machine.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method, according to one embodiment, includes obtaining information about a plurality of remote storage systems. Each of the remote storage systems includes a cache. The method further includes generating a routing table based on the information, the routing table indicating potential write data migration paths from a cache of a local storage system to the caches of the remote storage systems. A write data migration plan is generated based on the routing table. The write data migration plan specifies which of the caches of the remote storage systems to migrate at least some write data originally intended to be stored on the cache of the local storage system to. In response to a determination that a first predetermined condition associated with the cache of the local storage system is met, the method includes causing the write data migration plan to be performed.

Abstract: A system and related method identify a weakness of a workflow in a complex system. The method collects runtime data about the complex system. The complex system comprises a plurality of subcomponents, and the method identifies an abnormal operation in the complex system. The method constructs a multi-dimensional cause-and-effect relation matrix among the plurality of subcomponents, and filters one or more related operations using the multi-dimensional cause-and-effect relation matrix.

Abstract: A method, computer system, and a computer program product for workload scheduling is provided. The present invention may include determining a spare resource on each of a plurality of hosts for a plurality of workloads. The present invention may include obtaining an average resource consumption on the plurality of hosts based on a historical resource consumption association with the plurality of workloads. The present invention may include determining a boost action based on the spare resource and the average resource consumption, the boost action comprising a number of tasks among the plurality of tasks assigned to a respective one of the plurality of hosts. The present invention may include dispatching the number of tasks to the respective one of the plurality of hosts based on the boost action.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, computer program products for resource scheduling are provided. The method comprises: receiving a workload request; publishing the information of the workload to a workload billboard accessible to a plurality of computer hosts, each of the plurality of computer hosts being associated with a corresponding proxy configured to manage the resource scheduling of the computer host; receiving a request to schedule at least a portion of the workload from a proxy; and sending the portion of the workload to the computer host associated with the proxy.
