Host Machine Selection for Virtual Machine Deployment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In cloud computing systems, the inefficient deployment of virtual machines due to the lack of consideration for resource criteria and hardware resource situations of host machines leads to failures and inefficiencies in virtual machine creation and management.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus for selecting a host machine for virtual machine deployment by evaluating resource criteria of the virtual machine, hardware resource situations of available host machines, and other aspects of the cloud computing environment, using a control device that filters candidate host machines based on attribute information and determines a target host machine based on priority dimensions.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If host machines are selected without considering resource criteria and hardware resource situations, then the deployment process is simple and quick, but the virtual machine creation fails or operates inefficiently
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary evaluation of host machine resources and attributes before virtual machine deployment. The control device assesses hardware resource situations, available resources, and attribute information of candidate host machines in advance, ensuring that suitable host machines are selected before deployment begins, thereby improving success rate without adding operational complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback mechanisms by continuously monitoring resource usage and host machine states. The control device uses this feedback information to dynamically adjust host machine selection and resource allocation, ensuring that virtual machines are deployed on appropriate hosts while maintaining system efficiency and reliability
2Productivity
If comprehensive resource evaluation and priority-based selection are implemented, then resource utilization improves and operational costs reduce, but the selection process becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The host machine selection process is segmented into distinct evaluation dimensions including resource criteria, hardware resource situations, and other operational aspects. Each dimension is assessed separately using priority-based weighting, allowing the control device to manage complexity through structured modular evaluation while achieving comprehensive resource optimization
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes parameters by introducing priority weights for different evaluation dimensions and host machine attributes. By adjusting these parameters dynamically based on system state and deployment requirements, the control device optimizes virtual machine deployment efficiency without requiring complex manual intervention
