Abstract

A method for managing data includes obtaining, by a management module, a redeployment request, wherein the redeployment request specifies a first workload and workload specifications for a second workload, and in response to the redeployment request: identifying, using a resource allocation master list, a plurality of resource devices, wherein each resource device in the plurality of resource devices is in an available status, selecting, from the plurality of resource devices, a first resource device based on the workload specifications, initiating a configuration of the first resource device, and updating the resource allocation master list to specify an allocation of the first resource device to the second workload.

Claims (58)

1. A method for managing data, the method comprising:

obtaining, by a performance manager of a management module, a performance analysis is performed on a first workload based on a plurality of snapshots generated based on a performance of the first workload to generate a performance report;

based on the performance report, making a determination that the workload does not meet standard performance;

based on the determination, sending a redeployment request to a redeployment orchestrator of the management module;

obtaining, by the redeployment orchestrator, a redeployment request, wherein the redeployment request specifies the first workload and workload specifications for a second workload; and

in response to the redeployment request:

identifying, using a resource allocation master list, a plurality of resource devices, wherein each resource device in the plurality of resource devices is in an available status;

selecting, from the plurality of resource devices, a first resource device based on the workload specifications;

initiating a configuration of the first resource device; and

updating the resource allocation master list to specify an allocation of the first resource device to the second workload.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

selecting, from the plurality of resource devices, a second resource device based on the workload specifications, wherein the second resource device is a storage device; and

initiating a data migration from a third resource device to the second resource device, wherein the third resource device is associated with the first workload.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein updating the resource allocation master list comprises:

updating a resource device entry of a second resource device associated with the first workload to specify a quarantined status; and

updating a second resource device entry of the first resource device to specify an in use status.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first resource device is a processing device.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein initiating the configuration of the first resource device comprises installing an operating system on the processing device.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first resource device is a network device.

7. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising computer readable program code, which when executed by a computer processor enables the computer processor to perform a method for managing data, the method comprising:

obtaining, by a performance manager of a management module, a performance analysis is performed on a first workload based on a plurality of snapshots generated based on a performance of the first workload to generate a performance report;

based on the performance report, making a determination that the workload does not meet standard performance;

based on the determination, sending a redeployment request to a redeployment orchestrator of the management module;

obtaining, by the redeployment orchestrator, a redeployment request, wherein the redeployment request specifies a first workload and workload specifications for a second workload; and

in response to the redeployment request:

identifying, using a resource allocation master list, a plurality of resource devices, wherein each resource device in the plurality of resource devices is in an available status;

selecting, from the plurality of resource devices, a first resource device based on the workload specifications;

initiating a configuration of the first resource device; and

updating the resource allocation master list to specify an allocation of the first resource device to the second workload.

8. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 7 , the method further comprising:

selecting, from the plurality of resource devices, a second resource device based on the workload specifications, wherein the second resource device is a storage device; and

initiating a data migration from a third resource device to the second resource device, wherein the third resource device is associated with the first workload.

9. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 7 , wherein updating the resource allocation master list comprises:

updating a resource device entry of a second resource device associated with the first workload to specify a quarantined status; and

updating a second resource device entry of the first resource device to specify an in use status.

10. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 7 , wherein the first resource device is a processing device.

11. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 10 , wherein initiating the configuration of the first resource device comprises installing an operating system on the processing device.

12. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 7 , wherein the first resource device is a network device.

13. A system, comprising:

a processor; and

memory comprising instructions, which when executed by the processor, perform a method, the method comprising:

obtaining, by a performance manager of a management module, a performance analysis is performed on a first workload based on a plurality of snapshots generated based on a performance of the first workload to generate a performance report;

based on the performance report making a determination that the workload does not meet standard performance;

based on the determination, sending a redeployment request to a redeployment orchestrator of the management module;

obtaining, by the redeployment orchestrator, a redeployment request, wherein the redeployment request specifies a first workload and workload specifications for a second workload; and

in response to the redeployment request:

identifying, using a resource allocation master list, a plurality of resource devices, wherein each resource device in the plurality of resource devices is in an available status;

selecting, from the plurality of resource devices, a first resource device based on the workload specifications;

initiating a configuration of the first resource device; and

updating the resource allocation master list to specify an allocation of the first resource device to the second workload.

14. The system of claim 13 , the method further comprising:

selecting, from the plurality of resource devices, a second resource device based on the workload specifications, wherein the second resource device is a storage device; and

initiating a data migration from a third resource device to the second resource device, wherein the third resource device is associated with the first workload.

15. The system of claim 13 , wherein updating the resource allocation master list comprises:

updating a resource device entry of a second resource device associated with the first workload to specify a quarantined status; and

updating a second resource device entry of the first resource device to specify an in use status.

16. The system of claim 13 , wherein the first resource device is a processing device.

17. The system of claim 16 , wherein initiating the configuration of the first resource device comprises installing an operating system on the processing device.
