Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An approach for activity-based virtual machine (VM) availability in a networked computing environment (e.g., a cloud computing environment) is provided. In a typical embodiment, a system provided under the present approach monitors and logs network traffic and performs network packet inspections. Based on the contents of the network packets, the system may determine which applications/processes on particular VMs that are associated with the traffic. Users of this system may configure rules and thresholds. Regardless, if an availability threshold is not met as compared to a volume of network traffic, certain network traffic disablement actions can be taken. Users may also configure those conditions that will result in re-enablement of the network and/or processes that were disabled.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A computer-implemented method for activity-based virtual machine (VM) availability control in a networked computing environment, comprising: monitoring network traffic through a VM on a host machine in the networked computing environment; performing a packet inspection of the network traffic to identify a set of processes of the VM that are associated with the network traffic and a priority of the set of processes, the network traffic being specifically de…
