Abstract

This disclosure describes techniques for monitoring, scheduling, and performance management for virtualization infrastructures within networks. In one example, a computing system includes a plurality of different cloud-based compute clusters (e.g., different cloud projects), each comprising a set of compute nodes. Policy agents execute on the compute nodes to monitor performance and usage metrics relating to resources of the compute nodes. Policy controllers within each cluster deploy policies to the policy agents and evaluate performance and usage metrics from the policy agents by application of one or more rulesets for infrastructure elements of the compute cluster. Each of the policy controllers outputs data to a multi-cluster dashboard software system indicative of a current health status for the infrastructure elements based on the evaluation of the performance and usage metrics for the cluster. The multi-cluster dashboard software system data outputs, as single user interface screen, the current health status for each of the cloud-based compute clusters.
