US Patent 10263842 Dynamic configuration in cloud computing environments

Virtual machines, virtualization servers, and other physical resources in a cloud computing environment may be dynamically configured based on the resource usage data for the virtual machines and resource capacity data for the physical resources in the cloud system. Based on an analysis of the virtual machine resource usage data and the resource capacity data of the virtualization servers and other physical resources in the cloud computing environment, each virtual machine may be matched to one of a plurality of virtualization servers, and the resources of the virtualization servers and other physical resources in the cloud may be reallocated and reconfigured to provide additional usage capacity to the virtual machines.
