Abstract

A system comprises a scoring engine comprising at least one processor and memory. The scoring engine is to generate, based on telemetry information obtained from a plurality of nodes of a computing infrastructure, a first availability score for a first node of the plurality of computing infrastructure nodes and a second availability score for a second node of the plurality of computing infrastructure nodes. The scoring engine is further to generate, based on the first availability score of the first computing infrastructure node and the second availability score of the second computing infrastructure node, an edge tension score for a link between the first node and the second node.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A system comprising:
a scoring engine comprising at least one processor and memory, the scoring engine to:
generate, based on telemetry information obtained from a plurality of nodes of a computing infrastructure, a first availability score for a first node of the plurality of computing infrastructure nodes and a second availability score for a second node of the plurality of computing infrastructure nodes; and
generate, based on the first availability score of the first computing infrastructure node and the second availability score of the second computing infrastructure node, an edge tension score for a link between the first node and the second node, wherein the edge tension score is based at least in part on a product of the first availability score and the second availability score.

2. The system of claim 1 , the scoring engine further to provide the edge tension score to an orchestrator to be used to determine placement of a workload in the computing infrastructure.

3. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a telemetry engine to obtain the telemetry information from the plurality of computing infrastructure nodes.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the edge tension score is generated by subtracting a product of the first availability score and the second availability score from a maximum possible edge tension score.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first node is a first physical element of the computing infrastructure and the second node is a second physical element of the computing infrastructure.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first node is a first physical element of the computing infrastructure and the second node is a logical machine associated with the first physical element and at least one additional physical element of the computing infrastructure.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first availability score is based on at least one utilization parameter associated with the first computing infrastructure node.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first availability score is based on at least one saturation parameter associated with the first computing infrastructure node.

9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first availability score is based on at least one capacity parameter associated with the first computing infrastructure node.

10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the at least one capacity parameter includes a sold capacity associated with the first computing infrastructure node.

11. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first availability score is based on at least one utilization parameter, at least one saturation parameter, and at least one capacity parameter associated with the first computing infrastructure node.

12. The system of claim 1 , wherein the edge tension score is inversely proportional to the first availability score and the second availability score.

13. A method comprising:

generating, based on the first availability score of the first computing infrastructure node and the second availability score of the second computing infrastructure node, an edge tension score for a link between the first node and the second node, wherein the edge tension score is based at least in part on a product of the first availability score and the second availability score; and
providing the edge tension score to an orchestrator to be used to determine placement of a workload in the computing infrastructure.

14. The method of claim 13 , wherein the edge tension score is generated by subtracting a product of the first availability score and the second availability score from a maximum possible edge tension score.

15. The method of claim 13 , wherein the first availability score is based on at least one saturation parameter associated with the first computing infrastructure node.

16. The method of claim 13 , wherein the first availability score is based on at least one capacity parameter associated with the first computing infrastructure node.

17. At least one non-transitory machine readable storage medium having instructions stored thereon, the instructions when executed by a machine to cause the machine to:
generate, based on telemetry information obtained from a plurality of nodes of a computing infrastructure, a first availability score for a first node of the plurality of computing infrastructure nodes and a second availability score for a second node of the plurality of computing infrastructure nodes; and
generate, based on the first availability score of the first computing infrastructure node and the second availability score of the second computing infrastructure node, an edge tension score for a link between the first node and the second node, wherein the edge tension score is based at least in part on a product of the first availability score and the second availability score.

18. The at least one medium of claim 17 , wherein the edge tension score is generated by subtracting a product of the first availability score and the second availability score from a maximum possible edge tension score.

19. The at least one medium of claim 17 , wherein the first availability score is based on at least one saturation parameter associated with the first computing infrastructure node.

20. The at least one medium of claim 17 , wherein the first availability score is based on at least one capacity parameter associated with the first computing infrastructure node.

21. A system comprising:
a computing infrastructure comprising a plurality of nodes;
