Cloud system management apparatus, cloud system, reallocation method, and computer program product
View Patent ↗According to an embodiment, a cloud system management apparatus includes an estimator, a detector, a determination processor, and a reallocator. The estimator is configured to estimate breach information based on quality information representing a quality level to be achieved by a service process operating in any one of server devices in a cloud system. The breach information represents a degree by which the service process is incapable of achieving the quality level. The detector is configured to detect a failure of each server device. The determination processor is configured to determine, to reallocate at least one first service process operating on a first server device whose failure is detected, a second server device having a smaller sum of the breach information on at least one second service process operating on the second server device. The reallocator is configured to reallocate the first service process to the second server device.
1. A cloud system management apparatus comprising:
an estimator configured to estimate breach information based on quality information representing a quality level to be achieved by a service process operating in any one of server devices in a cloud system, the breach information representing a degree by which the service process is incapable of achieving the quality level;
a detector configured to detect a failure of each server device;
a determination processor configured to determine, to reallocate at least one first service process operating on a first server device whose failure is detected, a second server device having a smaller sum of the breach information on at least one second service process operating on the second server device; and
a reallocator configured to reallocate the first service process to the second server device.
2. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the reallocator is configured to reallocate the second service process to a third server device.
3. The apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein
the cloud system includes
a first cluster including server devices each for operating the first service process the quality information of which specifies that the quality level is always need to be satisfied, and
a second cluster including server devices each for operating the second service process the quality information of which specifies that the quality level is not always need to be satisfied, and
the determination processor is configured to, when a failure of a server device of the first cluster is detected, determine as the second server device a server device having a smaller sum of the breach information on the second service process operating on the server device among from the server devices of the second cluster.
4. The apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein
the cloud system includes a second cluster including server devices each for operating the second service process the quality information of which specifies that the quality level is not always need to be satisfied, and
the third server device is a server device of the second cluster.
5. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the estimator is configured to estimate the breach information by adding a downtime when the service process is reallocated to a cumulative downtime of the service process.
6. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the estimator is configured to estimate the breach information based on a processing time calculated from a ratio of resources of the second server device to be available to the first service process in a case where the first service process is reallocated to the second server device.
7. A cloud system comprising:
a plurality of server devices operating at least one service process; and
a cloud system management apparatus including
an estimator configured to estimate breach information based on quality information representing a quality level to be achieved by a service process operating in any one of the server devices, the breach information representing a degree by which the service process is incapable of achieving the quality level;
a detector configured to detect a failure of each server device;
a determination processor configured to determine, to reallocate at least one first service process operating on a first server device whose failure is detected, a second server device having a smaller sum of the breach information on at least one second service process operating on the second server device; and
a reallocator configured to reallocate the first service process to the second server device.
8. A reallocation method comprising:
stimating breach information based on quality information representing a quality level to be achieved by a service process operating in any one of server devices in a cloud system, the breach information representing a degree by which the service process is incapable of achieving the quality level;
detecting a failure of each server device;
determining, to reallocate at least one first service process operating on a first server device whose failure is detected, a second server device having a smaller sum of the breach information on at least one second service process operating on the second server device; and
reallocating the first service process to the second server device.
9. A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable medium containing a program executed by a computer, the program causing the computer to execute:
estimating breach information based on quality information representing a quality level to be achieved by a service process operating in any one of server devices in a cloud system, the breach information representing a degree by which the service process is incapable of achieving the quality level;
detecting a failure of each server device;
determining, to reallocate at least one first service process operating on a first server device whose failure is detected, a second server device having a smaller sum of the breach information on at least one second service process operating on the second server device; and
reallocating the first service process to the second server device.
