Get usage data from a cloud?

Barroom briefs

Hello,

I am in a scientific preparatory class and as part of my TIPE project, I would like to simulate cloud activity using host workloads. Indeed, my goal is to create an algorithm that optimizes the time cost of VM migrations in a cloud, and to illustrate or test it I would need real data—for example, CPU usage as a percentage over a certain period.

Is it possible to obtain such data? Or would it be simpler to obtain it by simulating VMs?

Hello @Malo.A,

If I understand correctly, you would like a member to provide you with data on one of the infra they own, is that right?

Hello, thank you for your reply,

Indeed, I would like an example of usage data/performance of an infrastructure in order to test my program to illustrate my presentation and discuss the efficiency of my work.

But it doesn't necessarily have to come from users; it can just as well come from a simulation or tests, for example. However, I don't know if there are ways to simulate the usage of such a database.

What would you propose or advise me?

Hello @le_sbraz,

Do you have an idea to suggest? :face_without_mouth:

Thank you in advance for your response,

Hello @Malo.A, @FabL,

Unfortunately I don't have any specific statistics to provide on that side since I mainly work on bare metal, so I deal only a little with VMs :slight_smile:

Are the statistics you're looking for for migrating a VM from one physical host to another? What type of hypervisor?

This is exactly the kind of statistics I’m looking for, and the type of hypervisor isn’t important; I should be able to use the data in any case.

In that case, could you tell me who I should contact?
