  • Tuning a virtual machine startup parameter
    Patent number: 10296363
    Abstract: Techniques for tuning a virtual machine (VM) startup parameter are disclosed. A network manager initiates VMs, for executing a program, using an initial set of values for VM startup parameters. A VM analysis engine determines performance characteristics for the execution of the program associated with the initial set of values. Based on the performance characteristics, the VM analysis engine selects a modified set of values for the VM startup parameters. The network manager initiates VMs using the modified set of values for the VM startup parameters. The VM analysis engine determines performance characteristics for the execution of the program associated with the modified set of values. If the performance characteristics are improved, the network manager initiates new VMs using the modified set of values for the VM startup parameters. The network manager redirects traffic to the new VMs and terminates existing VMs associated with the initial set of values.
