Patent number: 11900171Abstract: A cloud computing capacity management system can include a fine-grained admission control layer, a policy engine, and an enforcement layer. The fine-grained admission control layer can be configured to ingest capacity signals and create a capacity mitigation policy, based at least in part on the capacity signals, to protect available capacity of a cloud computing system for prioritized users. The capacity mitigation policy can be directed to users of the cloud computing system. The policy engine can be configured to control how the capacity mitigation policy is applied to the cloud computing system. The enforcement layer can be configured to handle incoming resource requests and to enforce resource limits based on the capacity mitigation policy as applied by the policy engine.Type: GrantFiled: February 2, 2021Date of Patent: February 13, 2024Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Gurpreet Virdi, Fernando Gonzalez Todisco, Karthikeyan Subramanian, Sanjay Ramanujan, Sorin Iftimie, Xing wen Wang, Thomas Moscibroda, Yunus Mohammed, Vi Lam Nguyen, Rostislav Sudakov

Publication number: 20230076488Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for scheduling a virtual machine (VM) to host a workload in a cloud system. In particular, the disclosed technology schedules an evicted VM for redeploying an interruptible workload. The scheduling is based on capacity prediction and inference data associated with a type of the evicted VM. Capacity signal predictor generates training data for training a machine learning model using capacity signal history data of the cloud system. The machine-learning model, once trained, predicts capacity including a rate of evictions for the types of the evicted VM. The predicted data is based on at least the current status of available computing resources. Upon receiving a notice associated with a workload interruption, the intelligent scheduler prioritizes the evicted VM for scheduling and determines whether to defer redeploying the evicted VM based on the rate of eviction for the type of the evicted VM.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 3, 2021Publication date: March 9, 2023Applicant: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Inigo GOIRI PRESA, Rakesh AKKERA, Eli CORTEZ CUSTODIO VILARINHO, Felipe VIEIRA FRUJERI, Yunus MOHAMMED, Thomas MOSCIBRODA, Gurpreet VIRDI, Sandeep Kumta VISHNU, Yandan WANG

Publication number: 20220327002Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and computer readable media for predicting surplus capacity on a set of server nodes and determining a quantity of deferrable virtual machines (VMs) that may be scheduled over an upcoming period of time. This determination of VM quantity may be determined while minimizing risks associated with allocation failures on the set of server nodes. This disclosure described systems that facilitate features and functionality related to improving utilization of surplus resource capacity on a plurality of server nodes by implementing VMs having some flexibility in timing of deployment while also avoiding significant risk caused as a result of over-allocated storage and computing resources. In one or more embodiments, the quantity of deferrable VMs is determined and scheduled in accordance with rules of a scheduling policy.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 13, 2021Publication date: October 13, 2022Inventors: Yuwen YANG, Gurpreet VIRDI, Bo QIAO, Hang DONG, Karthikeyan SUBRAMANIAN, Marko LALIC, Shandan ZHOU, Si QIN, Thomas MOSCIBRODA, Yunus MOHAMMED

Patent number: 10749767Abstract: A routing system is described herein for intelligently routing actions directed to any one of a collection of user devices that are associated with a user. In operation, the routing system receives a request from a source entity to perform an action. The routing system determines a mode of carrying out the action that involves use of one or more user devices, selected from the collection of user devices. It then instructs the selected user device(s) to carry out the action. In this manner of operation, requests that are directed to an individual user device are no longer necessarily carried out by that individual user device. The routing system chooses the user device(s) to carry out the action based on current context information together with relationship information extracted from a user graph.Type: GrantFiled: August 2, 2018Date of Patent: August 18, 2020Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Jared A.

Patent number: 10614030Abstract: A digital assistant supported on a local device and/or a remote digital assistant service is disclosed herein. The device may interact with a user and perform various functions or tasks based on the user's input (e.g., web search, set calendar appointments, capture images or video). The digital assistant may identify and store artifacts associated with each action or function. Artifacts may include, for example, people in an image, search results from a web search, participants in a meeting, etc. Subsequently, the user may query the digital assistant for information about one of the artifacts, such as who the participants were in a meeting conducted the prior Thursday. The digital assistant can sift through the various artifacts and provide the user with the relevant information. Additionally, the digital assistant can suggest actions for the user based on the retrieved artifacts, such as to message one of the identified participants.Type: GrantFiled: June 2, 2017Date of Patent: April 7, 2020Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing LLCInventors: Reza Ferrydiansyah, Gurpreet Virdi, Richa Prasad, Steve Seixeiro, Robert Howard, III
