Cloud Capacity Visibility for Multi-Scenario Instance Reservation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current capacity query and management technologies fail to support resource reservation and capacity assurance in multi-dimensional combination scenarios, and cannot effectively display instance specification capacity or sellout information in differentiated scenarios.
Innovation Solution
A cloud resource capacity management method and platform that determines scenario requirements, identifies hosts capable of meeting these requirements, and provides timely availability information to tenants, including sellout status, to facilitate instance creation and resource reservation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If current capacity query technology is used, then resource capacity can be queried based on availability zones and instance specifications, but resource capacity query and sellout prompting in multi-dimensional combination scenarios cannot be implemented
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extends the traditional single-dimension capacity query by introducing multi-dimensional filtering criteria including availability zones, instance specifications, and scenario requirements. This dimensional expansion enables comprehensive capacity assessment across multiple simultaneous constraints, resolving the contradiction between scenario versatility and information completeness
2Reliability
If traditional resource reservation method is used, then resource reservation can be performed, but resource reservation and capacity assurance in specified dimensional combination scenarios cannot be supported
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary resource reservation by determining available capacity across multiple dimensions before instance creation. The system pre-assesses whether sufficient resources exist in specified availability zones and scenario requirements, providing advance confirmation of capacity assurance while maintaining manageable system complexity through structured query processing
3Loss of time
If availability information is provided only after instance creation, then resource allocation can be completed, but availability information cannot be fed back to user in a timely manner
Solution Approach 1:
The patent provides availability information before instance creation by querying capacity across multiple dimensions in advance. This preliminary feedback enables users to make informed decisions about instance creation without waiting for post-creation status checks, simultaneously reducing feedback time and improving operational ease

AI summary
A cloud resource capacity management method comprising: determine scenario information entered by a tenant, and determines, based on the scenario information including a scenario requirement of a to-be-created virtual instance, a host that is in the plurality of hosts in the infrastructure and that is capable of meeting the scenario requirement entered by the tenant, and before receiving a virtual instance creation instruction entered by the tenant for the virtual instance, prompts the tenant with availability information of an instance on the host that meets the scenario requirement. Through application of this technical solution, in scenarios such as instance creation and resource reservation, availability information of an instance on a host that meets a requirement can be updated in a timely and accurate manner based on a differentiated scenario and a multi-dimensional combination scenario that are entered by a tenant, and displayed to the tenant, to improve resource transparency.
