Abstract: A system may include a memory and a processor in communication with the memory. The processor may be configured to perform operations. The operations may include analyzing a host system, detecting one or more specifications of the host system, and determining a displaceable capacity of the host system. The determining a displaceable capacity of the host system may include identifying a workload on the host system, establishing a workload priority for the workload, and defining a task priority of a task. The operations may include computing service metrics of the host system. The operations may include displacing a portion of the workload using the displaceable capacity.

Abstract: A method for network communication across application containers in a computer server system includes executing, by a computer system, a host operating system (OS). The host OS is an instance of an OS. The host OS includes multiple application containers operatively coupled to a memory. The method further includes executing, by the host OS, a virtual network interface for each of the application containers. The method further includes implementing, by the host OS, a remote direct memory access (RDMA) transparently for communications amongst the application containers by utilizing shared memory communications.

Abstract: Techniques for profile clustering for homogenous instance analysis are described herein. An aspect includes collecting for each of a plurality of homogenous instances in a cloud computing environment, respective profiling information, the profiling information comprising counter data. Another aspect includes identifying a code unit for analysis. Another aspect includes aggregating counters corresponding to the code unit for each of the plurality of homogenous instances from the respective profiling information. Another aspect includes determining a cluster comprising a subset of the plurality of homogenous instances based on the aggregated counters.
