Abstract:

Various examples are disclosed for workload placement using forecast data. Forecast data for workloads and providers during a predefined period of time in the future is considered when identifying stressed providers and the feasibility of a workload move. Workloads with demand spikes at different future times can be matched by stacking current demand and forecast demand by timestamps. The possibility of stress can be reduced by making moves preemptively and considering forecast demand when evaluating the feasibility of a workload move.
