Abstract: An electronic apparatus is configured to generate current capability parameters associated with a software object executing on the electronic apparatus. The current capability parameters include an indication of resources required to execute the software object. The electronic apparatus determines whether the resources required to execute the software object are approaching a limit. The determination may be made by comparison to a threshold value. If the resources required to execute the software object are approaching the limit, then the electronic apparatus identifies a suitable target host based on the current capability parameters and initiates a migration of the software object to the suitable target.
