Abstract

Mobility service providers and others can use cloud platforms to meet customer demand. Due to changing demand or changing technology numerous issues arise. For example, server utilization within the cloud platform can become less efficient over time. As another example, virtual machines and virtual network functions processed by the cloud platform typically need to be extensively tested and certified, which can be expensive. Moreover, intra-platform communication can play a significant role in the costs to operate a cloud platform. Techniques detailed herein can address many of these issues, e.g., by providing mechanisms for increasing host or server utilization in response to changing demand, introducing a container technique for virtual machines to mitigate testing costs, and modeling bandwidth resources.
