Abstract

A method for allocating cloud resources in a cloud computing system based on tiered storage data movement includes: transmitting a request to a tiered storage system to provide a notification of a data movement initiated by a tiered storage system, where the data movement comprises moving data associated with the cloud computing system from a first storage tier to a second storage tier, and the notification comprises an indication of a condition for initiating the data movement; receiving the notification from the tiered storage system; identifying, using the received notification, a hosted computing environment having a volume associated with the data movement; determining whether to change an allocation of resources to the hosted computing environment; and changing the allocation of resources to the hosted computing environment response to determining to change the allocation of resources to the hosted computing environment.

Claims (20)

1. A method for allocating cloud resources in a cloud computing system based on tiered storage data movement, the method comprising: transmitting a request to a tiered storage system to provide a notification of a data movement initiated by a tiered storage system, wherein: the data movement comprises moving data associated with the cloud computing system from a first storage tier to a second storage tier, and the notification comprises an indication of a condition for initiating the data movement; receiving the notification from the tiered storage system; identifying, using the received notification, a hosted computing environment having a volume associated with the data movement; determining whether to change an allocation of resources to the hosted computing environment; and changing the allocation of resources to the hosted computing environment response to determining to change the allocation of resources to the hosted computing environment.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the request includes a criteria for providing the notification, the criteria being based on whether the first storage tier has a performance better than a performance of the second storage tier.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the request includes a criteria for providing the notification, the criteria being based on aggregate characteristics of the data movement.
4. The method of claim 3, wherein the aggregate characteristics is at least one of: a frequency of data movements from a storage tier having a first performance level to a storage tier having a second performance level, wherein the second performance level is lower than the first performance level, a frequency of data movements from a storage tier in response to determining that the storage tier has insufficient storage capacity, and a data movement of data associated with a set of hosted computing environments from a first storage system to a second storage system.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the resources include at least one of allocated memory, processing resource, and communication bandwidth.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the changing the allocation of resources includes moving the hosted computing environment from a first host computing system to a second host computing system.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein changing the allocation of resources includes suspending execution of the hosted computing environment.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein changing the allocation of resources includes notifying a user associated with the hosted computing environment to cause the user to change the allocation of resources.
9. The method of claim 1 , wherein changing the allocation of resources includes notifying a service associated with the hosted computing environment to cause the service to change the allocation of resources.
10. A system for allocating cloud resources in a cloud computing system based on tiered storage data movement, the method comprising: one or more computing nodes having a memory and a processor; and a non-transitory computer readable storage medium of the one or more computing nodes having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by the processor to cause the system to: transmit a request to a tiered storage system to provide a notification of a data movement initiated by a tiered storage system, wherein: the data movement comprises moving data associated with the cloud computing system from a first storage tier to a second storage tier, and the notification comprises an indication of a condition for initiating the data movement; receive the notification from the tiered storage system; identify, using the received notification, a hosted computing environment having a volume associated with the data movement; determine whether to change an allocation of resources to the hosted computing environment; and change the allocation of resources to the hosted computing environment response to determining to change the allocation of resources to the hosted computing environment.
11. The system of claim 10, wherein the request includes a criteria for providing the notification, the criteria being based on whether the first storage tier has a performance better than a performance of the second storage tier.
12. The system of claim 10, wherein the request includes a criteria for providing the notification, the criteria being based on aggregate characteristics of the data movement.
13. The system of claim 12, wherein the aggregate characteristics is at least one of: a frequency of data movements from a storage tier having a first performance level to a storage tier having a second performance level, wherein the second performance level is lower than the first performance level, a frequency of data movements from a storage tier in response to determining that the storage tier has insufficient storage capacity, and a data movement of data associated with a set of hosted computing environments from a first storage system to a second storage system.
14. The system of claim 10, wherein the resources include at least one of allocated memory, processing resource, and communication bandwidth.
15. The system of claim 10, wherein the changing the allocation of resources includes moving the hosted computing environment from a first host computing system to a second host computing system.
16. The system of claim 10, wherein changing the allocation of resources includes suspending execution of the hosted computing environment.
17. The system of claim 10, wherein changing the allocation of resources includes notifying a user associated with the hosted computing environment to cause the user to change the allocation of resources.
18. The system of claim 10, wherein changing the allocation of resources includes notifying a service associated with the hosted computing environment to cause the service to change the allocation of resources.
19. A computer program product for allocating cloud resources in a cloud computing system based on tiered storage data movement, the computer program product including a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, wherein the computer readable storage medium is not a transitory signal per se, the program instructions executable by a processing circuit to cause the processing circuit to perform a method comprising: transmitting a request to a tiered storage system to provide a notification of a data movement initiated by a tiered storage system, wherein: the data movement comprises moving data associated with the cloud computing system from a first storage tier to a second storage tier, and the notification comprises an indication of a condition for initiating the data movement; receiving the notification from the tiered storage system; identifying, using the received notification, a hosted computing environment having a volume associated with the data movement; determining whether to change an allocation of resources to the hosted computing environment; and changing the allocation of resources to the hosted computing environment response to determining to change the allocation of resources to the hosted computing environment.
20. The computer program product of claim 19, wherein the request includes a criteria for providing the notification, the criteria being based on whether the first storage tier has a performance better than a performance of the second storage tier.
