The Infrastructure Optimization service (watcher) provides
flexible and scalable resource optimization service for
multi-tenant OpenStack-based clouds.
Watcher provides a complete optimization loop including
everything from a metrics receiver, complex event processor
and profiler, optimization processor and an action plan
applier. This provides a robust framework to realize a wide
range of cloud optimization goals, including the reduction
of data center operating costs, increased system performance
via intelligent virtual machine migration, increased energy
efficiency—and more!
watcher also supports a pluggable architecture by which custom
optimization algorithms, data metrics and data profilers can be
developed and inserted into the Watcher framework.
