A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11888702B2) discloses an apparatus associated with a cloud computing infrastructure that aims to optimize the execution of analytics workloads. The apparatus includes one or more hardware processors and computer memory holding program instructions that identify resources in the cloud computing infrastructure suitable for executing an analytics workload. By mapping workload resource requirements onto a vector space represented as graphical objects and performing cluster analysis, the apparatus can identify analytics workloads requiring similar resources. It then matches these workload resource requirements against available resource bundling options in the cloud infrastructure to output descriptions of resource bundling options that support the analytics workload. Additionally, the apparatus can right-size the selected resource bundling option after an initial execution of the analytics workload.

Furthermore, the patent describes how the apparatus can generate workload resource requirements deterministically and identify resource bundling options through an application programming interface (API). The descriptions provided by the apparatus include an ordered list of resource bundling options, with the first entry being the lowest cost option. Each resource bundling option represents available resource bundles providing different amounts of resources, with each option being represented as a vector in a multi-dimensional vector space. The ordered list may also include the probability of missing the service level, offering a comprehensive approach to optimizing resource allocation for analytics workloads in a cloud computing environment.
