Demonstrating Runtime Microservice Rescheduling in Hybrid Clouds for Cost Minimization

Abstract

The migration of software applications to the public cloud unlocks a number of advantages, such as flexibility and elasticity, that can be tampered by an inappropriate and inefficient usage of computational resources producing uncontrollable Opex. In this work, we experiment with a cost-aware rescheduling algorithm and show how its integration with K8s in a hybrid cloud environment can yield relevant advantages in terms of cost savings.
