Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to resource allocation for a virtual server, and more particularly, to monitoring and dynamically modifying the resource allocation for a virtual server based upon usage.
- Networked computer resources are growing more popular as the benefits of sharing computing resources become evident.
- One of the fastest-growing segments of the Internet is the network market.
- Network systems contain common elements, generally including a dedicated local server to maintain the shared network data, and a communications system for providing data communication services between devices on the network.
- Data communications services and servers are not easy to configure, manage, and maintain.
- ISPs Internet Service Providers
- ISPs typically dedicate one or more physical host computers as each individual customer's server(s), and maintain each host computer in the centralized facility. This means the ISP will have to own and maintain potentially large numbers of physical host computers, at least one for each customer's server or private network. However, most customers will neither require nor be amenable to paying for the user of an entire host computer. Generally, only a fraction of the processing power, storage, and other resources of a host computer will be required to meet the needs of an individual customer.
- a customer's virtual server is typically assigned a fixed level of resources, corresponding to either a fixed percentage of the capacity of a particular physical host (for example, the operating system may be instructed to allocate twenty percent of the central processing unit cycles to process A and two percent to process B) or a fixed number of units (for example, the operating system may be instructed to allocate X cycles per second to process A and Y cycles per second to process B).
- a fixed percentage of the capacity of a particular physical host for example, the operating system may be instructed to allocate twenty percent of the central processing unit cycles to process A and two percent to process B
- a fixed number of units for example, the operating system may be instructed to allocate X cycles per second to process A and Y cycles per second to process B.
- customers may be unable to anticipate the exact amount of resources they will require, and a static assignment of a particular resource allocation limit may not allow the virtual server system to adapt to changing customer needs.
- a better resource allocation model is structured along the lines of electricity pricing—a customer receives what he needs, and be pays for what he receives.
- small customer B may initially request a very low level of resources. However, should his new home business suddenly expand, he may quickly bump up against the limit of the server resources he originally requested. In this case, it would be preferable if customer B's virtual server resources were able to automatically, dynamically adjust to his increased resource needs.
- the present invention dynamically adjusts the quality of service guarantees for virtual servers based upon the resource demands experienced by the virtual servers.
- Virtual servers having individual quality of service guarantees are distributed among a group of physical hosts. Each physical host's resources are allocated among the physical host's resident virtual servers. The resources allocated to a particular virtual server may be dynamically adjusted in response to changing virtual server resource needs.
- a physical host executing a virtual server may not have additional resources to allocate to a virtual server requiring increased resources.
- a virtual server hosted by the overloaded physical host is transferred to another physical host with sufficient resources.
- a dynamic resource configuration module monitors resource denials received by virtual servers and determines if a virtual server is overloaded based upon the resource denials.
- a resource denial may refer to any request by the virtual server that cannot be immediately serviced, such as a denial of a request to create a file or a network packet delay. If the resource denials received by a particular virtual server exceed a pre-specified limit, the virtual server is considered overloaded and a request is made for additional resources.
- the resource usage of the physical hosts within the system is monitored.
- a load-balancing function is performed to select the appropriate physical host when a virtual server transfer becomes necessary.
- a virtual server is transferred between physical hosts with minimal impact upon the operation of the virtual server.
- FIG. 1 is an illustration of a system for dynamically modifying the resources of a virtual server.
- FIG. 2A is a flowchart of a process for dynamically modifying the resources of a virtual server.
- FIG. 2B is a flowchart of another process for dynamically modifying the resources of a virtual server.
- FIG. 3 is a block diagram of a process for determining whether an individual resource in a virtual server has reached its limit.
- FIG. 4 is a flowchart of a process for determining when to increase or decrease a virtual server resource allocation.
- FIG. 5 is a block diagram of one process for performing resource load balancing among physical hosts.
- FIG. 6 is a flowchart of one process for transferring a virtual server from one physical host to another physical host.
- virtual server refers to a virtual server capable of receiving a quality of service guarantee from a physical host. Multiple virtual servers may reside in a single physical host, and different virtual servers on the same physical host may receive different quality of service guarantee.
- FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of a system for dynamic resource configuration in virtual servers.
- a dynamic resource configuration module 100 is coupled via a network to a group of physical host machines 160 ( 160 A, 160 B and 160 C), or may be resident on any of these hosts 160 .
- the physical host machines 160 may be any kind of computer adapted to support virtual servers.
- the module 100 may be implemented in a software driver. It is to be understood that the dynamic resource configuration module 100 will typically support more than one physical host machine 160 . However, in one embodiment, the dynamic resource configuration module 100 may support a single physical host 160 .
- the group of physical hosts 160 contains a group of virtual servers 162 .
- Physical host 160 A contains virtual servers 162 A and 162 B;
- physical host 160 B contains virtual servers 162 C, 162 D and 162 E;
- physical host 160 C contains virtual servers 162 F and 162 G.
- each individual virtual server 162 has a different quality of service guarantee. Different quality of service guarantees are implemented by allocating different amounts of the resources of each physical host machine 160 to servicing each of the virtual servers 162 .
- Physical host 160 resources may be allocated as percentages of the resources of a particular physical host 160 , or as a particular number of units within a physical host 160 (for example, the operating system may be instructed to allocate X cycles per second to process A and Y cycles per second to process B). In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 , physical host 160 resources are allocated to individual virtual servers 162 as percentages of each physical host 160 . Table 1 lists the resource allocations of each virtual server 162 as shown in FIG. 1 :
- Virtual Server Resource Allocation in FIG. 1 Virtual Server Resource Allocation 162A 15% of physical host 160A 162B 60% of physical host 160A 162C 10% of physical host 160B 162D 10% of physical host 160B 162E 10% of physical host 160B 162F 20% of physical host 160C 162G 30% of physical host 160C
- the virtual servers 162 each may consume a different amount of the resources of the physical host machines 160 .
- the resources of a physical host machine comprise the set of functions and features the physical host machine uses in implementing tasks for each virtual server. Examples of resources include disk space, memory, network capacity and processing cycles (CPU resources).
- virtual server 162 A consumes 15% of the physical host 160 A resources. This means that 15% of physical host 160 A's disk space, memory, network bandwidth, and CPU processing will be dedicated to servicing the needs of virtual server 162 A.
- a variety of other types of physical host resources will be evident to one of skill in the art.
- a resource allocation for a virtual server is specified as a “quality of service guarantee” for that particular server.
- Each physical host stores quality of service guarantees for the virtual servers it hosts. As a physical host performs processes associated with a particular virtual server, the physical host accesses the stored quality of service information to enable the physical host to request the correct quality of service from the operating system kernel of the physical host.
- a quality of service parameter table in each physical host 160 associates each virtual server 162 resident in the particular physical host 160 with quality of service parameters. These parameters are used to allocate physical host 160 resources for each resident virtual server 162 .
- physical host 160 A includes a quality of service parameter table, which lists resident virtual servers 162 A and 162 B. The parameter table lists whatever virtual servers are resident in the physical host. As virtual server resource allocations are changed, and as virtual servers are transferred between physical hosts, the corresponding quality of service parameter tables are updated to reflect these changes and transfers.
- a single master quality of service parameter table can coordinate multiple slave tables associated with each physical host.
- Dynamic resource configuration module 100 includes a virtual server resource monitor 110 , a virtual server resource modifier 120 , a physical host load balancer 130 , a dynamic virtual server mover 140 , and a file system 150 . In one embodiment, these modules are portions of the software code implementing the dynamic resource configuration module 100 . The dynamic resource configuration module 100 is further communicatively coupled to each physical host 160 .
- the virtual server resource monitor 110 monitors the resource usage of the virtual servers 162 to determine if they are overloaded.
- the virtual server resource modifier 120 dynamically modifies the resource allocations of the virtual servers 162 on an as-needed basis.
- the physical host load-balancer 130 periodically monitors the resource usage of the physical hosts 160 , and uses the dynamic virtual server mover 140 to transfer virtual servers 162 between physical hosts 160 as needed to balance the loads of the physical hosts 160 .
- the file system 150 is used for storing state information associated with a particular virtual server 162 when transferring the particular virtual server 162 to a different physical host 160 . In another embodiment, the file system 150 is not used, and state information is copied directly from one physical host to another physical host to transfer a virtual server.
- virtual server 162 B requests an additional memory allocation of 1 megabyte. If physical host 160 A has only 100 kilobytes of memory available (the rest already having been allocated to virtual servers 162 A and 162 B), then physical host 160 A cannot service virtual server 162 B's request and physical host 160 A is considered overloaded. This same principle may be extended to other types of resources.
- the virtual server resource allocation within the physical host is increased 240 .
- the method then continues to monitor 210 virtual server resource denials.
- a new physical host is selected 250 to accommodate the overloaded virtual server and its required resource increases.
- a variety of different fitting heuristic methods may be used to select a new physical host to execute the virtual server. For example, a first fit method may be used, wherein the first physical host 160 determined to have enough extra resources to accommodate the overloaded virtual server 162 is selected. In a best fit method, the physical host 160 with available resources most closely matching the resource needs of the overloaded virtual server 162 is selected. In an easiest fit method, the physical host 160 with the most available resources is selected to accommodate the overloaded virtual server 162 . For the following discussion, assume that physical host 160 A is overloaded, and new physical host 160 B has been selected to receive virtual server 162 B.
- the virtual server 162 B is moved 260 to the new physical host 160 B.
- the virtual server 162 B is also allocated its required resource increase.
- the old overloaded physical host 160 A places state information for the virtual server 162 B being transferred into a common file system 150 , e.g. in a configuration file or other system file.
- the new physical host 160 B accesses the state information and restarts the virtual server 162 B as resident in the new physical host 160 B.
- the virtual server 162 B files are copied directly from the old physical host 160 A to the new physical host 160 B.
- the old physical host 160 A has one fewer virtual server, and the new physical host 160 B has one additional virtual server.
- the quality of service tables for both the old and new physical hosts are modified 260 to reflect this change.
- the quality of service table entries for virtual server 162 B will also reflect the virtual server's resource increase.
- the virtual server user is transferred 270 from the old physical host ( 160 A) to the new physical host ( 160 B) by transferring the virtual server address.
- the transfer process may use either “break, then make” timing, or “make, then break” timing.
- the timing of the transfer process determines whether all processes and configuration information associated with the virtual server to he transferred are first shut down in the old physical host, or first started up in the new physical host, before the virtual server address is transferred. Transferring the virtual server address transfers the virtual server user from one virtual server location to another.
- the virtual server 162 B is first shut down in the old physical host 160 A, a new virtual server is created in new physical host 160 B and started up, and the virtual server 162 B address is then transferred over to the new physical host 160 B.
- a new virtual server is created in new physical host 160 B and started up, the virtual server 162 B address is transferred over to the new physical host 160 B, and the virtual server 162 B is then shut down in old physical host 160 A.
- a virtual server “user” refers to individuals or groups of individuals accessing the same virtual server.
- a virtual server “user” is a group of individuals with a shared association.
- “user” may collectively refer to the employees of a company, or to certain employees within a division of a company.
- One company (a “customer”) may have several different users, each corresponding to a different group within the company, and each having many different individuals.
- a “user” may also refer to a single individual.
- FIG. 2B is another embodiment of a flowchart of the process for dynamically modifying the resources of a virtual server.
- the method shown in FIG. 2B is similar to the method shown in FIG. 2A .
- the method of FIG. 2B includes three additional steps, steps 242 , 244 and 246 , which together provide a method for reclaiming unused virtual server resources.
- virtual server resource denials are monitored 210 . If a determination 220 is made that a particular virtual server resource is overloaded, and a determination 230 is made that the corresponding physical host resources are not overloaded, the virtual server resource allocation is increased 240 .
- a timer is set 242 for a pre-specified interval.
- the method determines 244 whether the newly increased virtual server resource is currently operating at its resource limit. If one or more resource denial signals corresponding to the newly increased virtual server resource are received during the timer period, the virtual server is assumed to be operating at its resource limit.
- Steps 242 , 244 , and 246 allow the dynamic resource configuration module 100 to reclaim unused resources within the virtual server system, by temporarily increasing resources allocated to a virtual server as needed.
- a recently transferred virtual server 162 may also allow unused resources to be reclaimed by the virtual server 162 's new physical host.
- step 270 would be followed by steps 242 , 244 and 246 .
- FIG. 3 shows an embodiment of one process for determining whether an individual resource in a virtual server has reached its resource limit.
- a virtual server resource monitor 110 receives a set of input signals 312 from a virtual server 162 B. The virtual server resource monitor 110 processes these signals to determine if any resources from virtual server 162 B are overloaded. If an overloaded resource is found, the virtual server resource monitor 110 sends a “resource overloaded” signal 350 to the virtual server resource modifier 120 .
- FIG. 3 shows four examples of resource denial signals: a create file denial signal 312 A generated, for example, by a lack of disk space, a memory allocation denial signal 312 B, a network packet delay signal 312 C generated by a lack of network bandwidth, and a central processing unit (CPU) process scheduling delay signal 312 D generated by exceeding CPU usage limits.
- a create file denial signal 312 A generated, for example, by a lack of disk space
- a memory allocation denial signal 312 B a network packet delay signal 312 C generated by a lack of network bandwidth
- CPU central processing unit
- a system call performs some system operation, such as the access of a system hardware or software resource, when the system call is executed.
- arguments are programmatically loaded into specific registers of the central processing unit on which the operating system is executing.
- One of these arguments identifies the specific system call that is being made.
- This argument is typically in the form of a number that is an offset into the operating system interrupt vector table, which contains pointers to the actual executable code of the system calls.
- the other loaded arguments include parameters to be passed to the system call.
- a software interrupt is generated, signaling to the operating system that a process is requesting execution of a system call.
- the operating system reads the registers, and executes the requested system call with the specified parameters.
- the system call executes and performs the desired functionality. If the system call generates a return value, it places the generated return value (or a pointer thereto) in a pre-designated register where it can be accessed by the calling process.
- a pointer in an interrupt vector table to a system call is replaced with a pointer to alternative object code to be executed instead of the system call. Then, when the system call is made, the alternative object code will execute instead.
- the alternative object code is known as a system call wrapper.
- the method of the related application may be used to selectively intercept system calls such that a system call wrapper only executes when a system call is made by a select process associated with one of the virtual servers being monitored.
- a system call is made by a non-select process, the default system call is executed.
- only certain types of system calls relating to resource allocation, as described above, are selectively intercepted.
- the system call wrapper for the intercepted system call allows the resource request by a particular virtual server and the resulting response to be monitored. Request denial responses are monitored by the virtual server resource monitor 110 .
- the specific system calls to be monitored will be system-dependent, and may vary based upon the type of operating system and physical server machine being used.
- Each resource denial signal 312 is input into an individual resource denial table 320 for tracking purposes.
- Create file denial signals 312 A are recorded in a disk denial table 320 A; memory allocation denial signals 312 B are recorded in a memory denial table 320 B; network packet delay signals 312 C are recorded in a network denial table 320 C; and CPU process scheduling delay signals 312 D are recorded in a CPU denial table 320 D.
- a calculation 330 is performed on the signals stored in each table to determine the mean number of times a particular resource denial occurs in a pre-specified time window. Different time windows may be specified for each type of resource denial. The calculation of mean resource denials is performed individually for each different type of resource denial being monitored ( 330 A, 330 B, 330 C and 330 D).
- the mean number of resource denials may be calculated using one of several well-known techniques for averaging a signal rate over a period of time. Each technique determines whether the number of received resource denial signals a received in a particular time window t exceeds a certain threshold T: a(t)>T?
- a “jumping-window” technique is used.
- the jumping-window technique measures the number of resource denials a received in consecutive windows of time length t. A new time interval t starts immediately after the end of the last time interval t.
- a “moving-window” technique is used. The moving-window technique measures the number of resource denials a received in a continuously moving window of time length t. In the moving-windows technique, all windows of time length t are measured.
- the virtual server resource monitor 110 checks 340 if the metric a(t) calculated is beyond the pre-specified threshold T. This determination is made individually for each type of resource denial signal ( 340 A, 340 B, 340 C and 340 D), and need not be made simultaneously. Each different type of resource denial signal 312 may have a different pre-specified threshold T.
- the method continues to calculate a(t) 330 so that resource denials are continuously monitored.
- the method will again check 340 if a(t)>T.
- a continuous loop of steps 330 and 340 is used to measure each continuously-moving window of time t.
- a pre-specified schedule for repeating calculating mean resource denials 330 and checking 340 if the threshold T has been exceeded can be established to limit the amount of processing required by the virtual server resource monitor 110 .
- a “resource overloaded” signal is sent 350 to the virtual server resource modifier 120 .
- Each type of resource denial signal 312 has an associated resource overloaded signal.
- FIG. 3 shows four examples of resource overloaded signals: disk resource overloaded signal 350 A, memory resource overloaded signal 350 B, network resource overloaded signal 350 C, and CPU resource overloaded signal 350 D. It is to be understood that there may be many other types of signals indicating an overloaded resource. The examples shown herein are used purely for illustrative purposes.
- FIG. 4 shows a flowchart of an embodiment of a method for determining when to increase or decrease a particular resource allocation within a virtual server.
- the virtual server resource modifier 120 performs the method shown in FIG. 4 .
- a separate analysis using the method of FIG. 4 is performed for each type of resource being monitored.
- the modifier 120 waits 410 to receive a resource overloaded signal 350 from the virtual server resource monitor 110 .
- the modifier 120 checks 420 to determine whether the signal 350 falls within a pre-specified “hysteresis time window” H.
- the hysteresis time window H check 420 damps the modifier 120 system to avoid rapid changes in the system state. For example, in a situation in which a virtual server has overloaded its existing memory resource allocation, the virtual server may attempt to access memory repeatedly before the memory resource allocation is increased. Each memory access attempt may generate a memory resource overloaded signal 350 B. The modifier 120 only needs to respond to one of these signals.
- the hysteresis time window H check 420 avoids repetitive responses to resource overloaded messages.
- the modifier 120 checks 420 whether the most recently received resource overloaded signal 350 (received at T 1 ) is close in time (within the hysteresis time window H) to a previously received resource overloaded signal 350 (received at T 0 ) for a particular resource: T 1 ⁇ T 0 ⁇ H?
- the modifier 120 If the recent and previous resource overloaded signals have occurred close enough in time to fall within the pre-specified hysteresis time window H, no further action will be taken and the modifier 120 returns and waits 410 to receive another resource overloaded signal 350 . If the current resource overloaded message is not received within the hysteresis time window H, the modifier 120 proceeds to increase 430 the virtual server resource allocation.
- the resource allocation for a particular overloaded resource is increased 430 by a pre-specified amount i.
- Amount i may be specified as a certain percentage of the resources of a physical host, or alternatively amount i may be specified as a certain number of resource units. Amount i may also be specified as a certain percentage of each particular virtual server's current resource allocation, e.g. increase a resource by 5% of its current value.
- the modifier 120 sets 440 a timer for a pre-specified time period.
- the modifier 120 determines 450 if the recently increased resource is being fully utilized. In one embodiment, a resource is fully utilized if a corresponding resource denial signal has been received within the timer period 440 after the resource was increased.
- the modifier 120 returns and waits 410 for an overloaded signal. However, if it is determined that the resource is not being fully utilized, the modifier 120 decreases 460 the resource by a pre-specified amount d.
- Amount d may be specified as a certain percentage of the resources of a physical host, or amount d may be specified as a certain number of resource units. Amount d may also be specified as a certain percentage of each particular virtual server's current resource allocation, e.g. decrease a resource by 10% of its current value.
- d (the resource decreases amount) is larger than i (the resource increase amount). This allows unused resources to be decreased aggressively, but overloaded resources to be increased cautiously.
- FIG. 5 shows a block diagram of an embodiment of a process for performing resource load balancing among physical hosts, in the context of a working example of overloaded physical host 160 A.
- the physical host load balancer 130 periodically monitors the resource usage of a group of physical hosts 160 ( 160 A, 160 B and 160 C) and transfers virtual servers to different ones of these physical hosts 160 in order to balance the resource loads between the physical hosts 160 . Requests to increase virtual server resource allocations are also sent to the physical host load balancer 130 in order to assist in the balancing of physical host 160 resource loads. This process is next explained by example.
- physical host load balancing module 130 receives a signal 510 from the virtual server resource modifier 120 indicating that virtual server 162 B requires an increased resource allocation. This signal is used as an input 520 into the load-balancing calculator 530 .
- the load-balancing calculator 530 also requests and receives as input the current physical host resource loads 535 from the physical host resource monitor 540 .
- the physical host resource monitor 540 performs periodic physical host resource checks 545 upon the group of physical hosts 160 ( 160 A, 160 B and 160 C). Resource checks 545 monitor the current virtual server resource guarantees in each quality of service table for each physical host 160 .
- the load-balancing calculator 530 determines whether a virtual server's request for additional resources 510 will overload the particular physical host currently hosting the virtual server. Using the example shown in FIG. 5 , the load-balancing calculator 530 determines whether physical host 160 A is capable of supporting the request for additional virtual server 162 B resources 510 . If the resource request 510 exceeds the available resources of physical host 160 A, the load-balancing calculator 530 determines that physical host 160 A is overloaded.
- the load-balancing calculator 530 uses an easiest fit heuristic to find the physical host that has the most available resources.
- Each different type of resource is associated with an ordinal and a weight.
- the i th resource R i has ordinal i and weight w i .
- resource R 1 represents disk resources
- R 2 represents memory resources
- R 3 represents network resources
- R 4 represents CPU resources.
- the weights for each respective resource are determined by the system operator.
- R i (V) denote the resource requirement of the virtual server under consideration, e.g. virtual server 162 B, including the requested resource increase from signal 510 .
- R i (S j ) denote the resource availability at the j th physical host.
- the load-balancing calculator 530 computes the weighted resource availability of physical host j as the sum over i:
- the load-balancing calculator 530 will select the physical host with the largest weighted resource availability to receive the virtual server 162 B (in the example of FIG. 5 , physical host 160 B).
- the choice of physical host 160 B is subject to the constraint that the selected physical host 160 B has sufficient resources to meet the resource demands of virtual server 162 B.
- the load-balancing calculator 530 sends 550 a signal 560 to the dynamic virtual server mover 140 indicating that virtual server 162 B is to be transferred to physical host 160 B.
- FIG. 6 is a flowchart of an embodiment of the process for transferring a virtual server from one physical host to another physical host.
- the dynamic virtual server mover 140 directs the process of FIG. 6 . This process is next explained by example.
- virtual server 162 B is transferred from old physical host 160 A to new physical host 160 B.
- the mover 140 waits 610 to receive a transfer virtual server signal 560 .
- the mover 140 receives a signal 560 directing the transfer of virtual server 162 B from physical host 160 A to physical host 160 B.
- the mover 140 directs physical host 160 A to store 620 local state information associated with virtual server 162 B in the file system 150 .
- file system 150 is commonly accessible from physical hosts 160 A, 160 B and 160 C.
- Mover 140 next directs physical host 160 A to stop 630 local processes associated with the virtual server being moved, e.g. virtual server 162 B.
- Mover 140 directs physical host 160 B to access 640 the virtual server 162 B state information stored in file system 150 .
- Mover 140 directs physical host 160 B to start 650 processes associated with virtual server 162 B locally. This enables virtual server 162 B to begin running locally in physical host 160 B.
- the user of virtual server 162 B is then transferred 660 from physical host 160 A to physical host 160 B by transferring the virtual server 162 B address to the new physical host 160 B.
- the mover 140 may use either “make, then break” timing or “break, then make” timing for the transfer process.
- the dynamic resource configuration module may support different numbers of physical hosts.
- different fitting heuristic methods may be used to select physical hosts for receiving transferred virtual servers during load balancing among the physical hosts. Accordingly, the present invention is intended to embrace all such alternatives, modifications, and variations as fall within the spirit and scope of the appended claims and equivalents.
