  • Resource oversubscription based on utilization patterns in computing systems
    Patent number: 11714686
    Abstract: Techniques of managing oversubscription of network resources are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a method includes receiving resource utilization data of a virtual machine hosted on a server in a computing system. The virtual machine is configured to perform a task. The method also includes determining whether a temporal pattern of the resource utilization data associated with the virtual machine indicates one or more cycles of resource utilization as a function of time and in response to determining that the temporal pattern associated with the virtual machine indicates one or more cycles of resource utilization as a function of time, causing the virtual machine to migrate to another server that is not oversubscribed by virtual machines in the computing system.
    Type: Grant
