US Patent 10452529 Techniques and devices for cloud memory sizing

Systems, apparatuses, and methods for cloud memory sizing are disclosed. An initial database memory allocation is determined for the provisioning of a database server instance. Periodically, sizes of key database tables of the database server instance are measured and an upper and a lower bound ratio are determined based on the key database table sizes and a buffer pool size. The upper and lower bound ratios are used to determine a desired memory allocation from which a report is generated including an interface for generating an instance move action for re-provisioning the database server instance with the desired memory allocation.
