Embodiment Construction

[0012] One embodiment of the present invention provides a method comprising creating a virtual machine with a virtual machine identifier, and storing an entry in a temporary virtual machine registry, wherein the entry includes the virtual machine identifier, an inactivity status for the virtual machine Standard and responsive actions for virtual machines. The method also includes monitoring the activity of the virtual machine, and initiating a responsive action associated with the virtual machine in response to the virtual machine meeting the inactivity criteria.

[0013] In one option, the inactivity criterion may be expressed as a maximum amount of activity within a predetermined period of time. For example, an inactivity criterion could be no activity on a particular port for a given number of days. Alternatively, the inactivity criterion may be no login for a given number of months. Other variations and combinations of conditions can be used as inactivity criteria. Any ...

Abstract

A method and a computer program product for causing a processor to perform the method are provided. The method includes creating a virtual machine having a virtual machine identifier, and storing an entry in a temporary virtual machine registry, wherein the entry includes the virtual machine identifier, inactivity criteria for the virtual machine, and a responsive action for the virtual machine. The method further includes monitoring the activity of the virtual machine, and initiating the responsive action associated with the virtual machine in response to the virtual machine satisfying the inactivity criteria.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the management of virtual machines. More specifically, the present invention relates to the management of system resources in a virtual machine environment. Background technique [0002] In a cloud computing environment, users are assigned virtual machines somewhere in the computing cloud. The virtual machine provides a software operating system and has access to physical resources such as input / output bandwidth, processing power, and memory capacity to support the user's applications. Configuration software manages and distributes virtual machines among available computer nodes in the cloud. Because each virtual machine runs independently of the other virtual machines, multiple operating system environments can coexist on the same computer in complete isolation from each other. [0003] Today, there are more virtual machines deployed than physical servers. The process of deploying new virtual machines is now so sim...
