Abstract: Methods, systems and computer program products are provided for automated runtime configuration for dataflows to automatically select or adapt a runtime environment or resources to a dataflow plan prior to execution. Metadata generated for dataflows indicates dataflow information, such as numbers and types of sources, sinks and operations, and the amount of data being consumed, processed and written. Weighted dataflow plans are created from unweighted dataflow plans based on metadata. Weights that indicate operation complexity or resource consumption are generated for data operations. A runtime environment or resources to execute a dataflow plan is/are selected based on the weighted dataflow and/or a maximum flow. Preferences may be provided to influence weighting and runtime selections.

Abstract: A cloud computing design evaluation platform may receive a master variant for a cloud computing design, including a sequential sequence of a set of components. The evaluation platform may then determine a maximum number of parallel levels for the master variant and automatically create a plurality of potential variants of the master variant by expanding the master variant with parallel components in accordance with the maximum number of parallel levels. The evaluation platform determines reliability information (e.g., based on MTBF data) and cost information (e.g., a TCO) for each component. An overall reliability score and overall cost score for each of the automatically created potential variants is automatically calculated and an evaluation result of the calculation is indicated (reflecting an optimum design that meets SLA and TCO goals). Some embodiments may also provide continuous monitoring of design performance and/or predict future design performance based on historical data.
