Methods and systems for cloud application optimization

1. A computerized method for optimizing cloud application performance, comprising: monitoring of a cloud application, wherein the cloud application is a microservice application comprising a set of containerized microservices that are managed by a container orchestration system by: obtaining a cloud-resource consumption of a per container level metric for each component of a cloud application, displaying the cloud-resource consumption for each component of the cloud application; building a full-stack view of the cloud application; providing an application mode; mapping one or more cloud application performance needs to a set of cloud-resources based on the application model; detecting a performance problem with the cloud application; dynamically adjusting a specified layer of the cloud application related to the per container level metric to meet an application performance SLO, wherein the application performance SLO includes a performance SLO of an ingress controller including NGINX and HAProxy that is indicated by a ingress controller-specific performance metric such as request rates per second which when lower than a target objective indicates an SLO breach of throughput; and as cloud resources are consumed, determine a real-time aggregate cost for a specified application operation.

2. The computerized method of claim 1 wherein the step of monitoring the cloud application further comprises:

monitoring a container layer of the cloud application.

3. The computerized method of claim 1 , wherein the container orchestration system comprises a Kubernetes container orchestration system.

4. The computerized method of claim 2 wherein the step of monitoring the cloud application further comprises:

monitoring the microservice components of the cloud application.

5. The computerized method of claim 4 wherein the step of monitoring the cloud application further comprises:

monitoring the orchestration layer of the cloud application.

6. The computerized method of claim 5 , wherein the orchestration layer comprises a Kubernetes layer.

7. The computerized method of claim 6 , wherein the step of monitoring the cloud application further comprises:

monitoring the cloud-infrastructure layer of the cloud application.

8. The computerized method of claim 7 , wherein a set of real-time changes as implemented in a closed loop fashion to allocate or reallocate resources to meet the application performance SLO on a continuous basis.

9. The computerized method of claim 8 further comprising:

optimizing a cost of application operations of the cloud application while meeting performance SLOs, by determining a specified choice of a cloud service types and a number of instances so as to a minimize the cost of the application operations.

10. The computerized method of claim 9 further comprising:

determining an accounting of a set of needed resources for meeting the application performance SLO.

11. The computerized method of claim 10 , wherein the step of determining an accounting of a set of needed resources for meeting the application performance SLO is implemented for a set of specified times and across a set of aggregated measured intervals.

12. The computerized method of claim 11 , wherein the step of determining an accounting of a set of needed resources for meeting the application performance SLO includes determining the total resources used based on the cloud resources consumed.

13. The computerized method of claim 12 , wherein the cloud application is implemented on a private cloud-computing platform.

14. The computerized method of claim 12 , wherein the cloud application is implemented on a public cloud-computing platform.

15. The computerized method of claim 3 , wherein the set of containerized microservices that are managed by the Kubernetes container orchestration system comprises a CPU usage and a memory from a cloud virtual machine (VM) microservice.

16. The computerized method of claim 3 , wherein the set of containerized microservices that are managed by the Kubernetes container orchestration system comprises a Disk IO microservice.
