Abstract

The disclosed technology relates to systems and methods for optimizing application instantiation in virtual environments. A scheduler may initiate requests for instantiating application instances, which are analyzed by an external analyzer. The analyzer may determine initialization parameters based on resource requirements, historical data, and real-time conditions, and may include using simulations and machine learning models to generate optimized instantiation plans.

Claims (49)

1 . A method performed by an external analyzer for optimizing application startup within a virtual environment, the method comprising:

receiving a request from a scheduler to instantiate a determined number of execution units, each execution unit executing a set of applications, within the virtual environment;

determining initialization parameters based at least in part on resource requirements for instantiating the set of applications within the virtual environment and historical performance data for the set of applications, the historical performance data including resource usage information, startup behavior information for the set of applications, and previous failure information of deploying the sets of applications, and the initialization parameters including deployment timing, resource allocation, and node selection, wherein determining the initialization parameters comprises:

performing a simulation by the external analyzer in a sandboxed environment of a set of startup scenarios of the set of applications under different conditions, wherein the simulation comprises:

testing variations in resource availability, workload demands, and

node selection; and

testing different staggered instantiation plans by analyzing an impact of each different staggered instantiation plan on resource contention; and

determining the initialization parameters based the simulation, the resource requirements, and the historical performance data;

generating a startup plan for instantiating one or more execution units to execute the determined number of execution units within the virtual environment based at least in part on the initialization parameters, the startup plan defining prioritization rules for timing the instantiation of the one or more execution units; and

instantiating, by the scheduler, the one or more execution units within the virtual environment based on the startup plan.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein determining the initialization parameters includes analyzing resource usage patterns of previously instantiated execution units.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the startup plan includes staggered or delayed instantiation of the one or more execution units.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein determining the initialization parameters further comprises deploying a test instance of the set of applications and recording resource utilization during the deployment of the test instance.

5 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising employing, by the external analyzer, a machine learning model to predict the initialization parameters.

6 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising employing, by the external analyzer, a machine learning model to generate the startup plan.

7 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising prioritizing, based on the prioritization rules, instantiation of the one or more execution units based on a metric indicating an importance of each execution unit to the virtual environment.

8 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising storing feedback received from the scheduler in a distributed database for future optimization.

9 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising dynamically adjusting the startup plan dynamically based on runtime feedback.

10 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising providing an alert to the scheduler when predicted resource usage for instantiating the determined number of execution units exceeds predefined thresholds.

11 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the external analyzer supports multiple schedulers, each schedule corresponding to a different virtual environment.

12 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the external analyzer simulates resource usage to validate the startup plan prior to deployment.

13 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising using a feedback loop between the external analyzer and the scheduler to refine the initialization parameters in real-time.

14 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising generating a visual representation of the startup plan for user review.

15 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising providing information from the external analyzer to a monitoring tool to augment resource analysis via an application programming interface (API).

16 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the external analyzer logs resource contention events to improve future predictions.

17 . One or more non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

receiving a request from a scheduler to instantiate a determined number of execution units, each execution unit executing a set of applications, within a virtual environment;

determining initialization parameters based at least in part on resource requirements for instantiating the set of applications within the virtual environment and historical performance data for the set of applications, the historical performance data including resource usage information, startup behavior information for the set of applications, and previous failure information of deploying the sets of applications, and the initialization parameters including deployment timing, resource allocation, and node selection, wherein determining the initialization parameters comprises:

performing a simulation by an external analyzer in a sandboxed environment of a set of startup scenarios of the set of applications under different conditions, wherein the simulation comprises:

testing variations in resource availability, workload demands, and

node selection; and

testing different staggered instantiation plans by analyzing an impact of each different staggered instantiation plan on resource contention; and

determining the initialization parameters based the simulation, the resource requirements, and the historical performance data;

generating a startup plan for instantiating one or more execution units to execute the determined number of execution units within the virtual environment based at least in part on the initialization parameters, the startup plan defining prioritization rules for timing the instantiation of the one or more execution units; and

instantiating, by the scheduler, the one or more execution units within the virtual environment based on the startup plan.

18 . The one or more non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 17 , wherein determining the initialization parameters includes analyzing resource usage patterns of previously instantiated execution units.

19 . The one or more non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 18 , further comprising employing, by the external analyzer, a machine learning model to predict the initialization parameters.

20 . A computing system, comprising:

one or more memories configured to store computer-executable instructions; and

one or more processors configured to access the one or more memories and execute the computer-executable instructions to at least:

receive a request from a scheduler to instantiate a determined number of execution units, each execution unit executing a set of applications, within a virtual environment;
