Bespoke Virtual Machine Orchestrator: An Approach for Constructing and Reconfiguring Bespoke Virtual Machine in Private Cloud Environment

A cloud-computing company or user must create a virtual machine to build and operate a cloud environment. With the growth of cloud computing, it is necessary to build virtual machines that reflect the needs of both companies and users. In this study, we propose a bespoke virtual machine orchestrator (BVMO) as a method for constructing a virtual machine. The BVMO builds resource volumes as core assets to meet user requirements and builds virtual machines by reusing and combining these resource volumes. This can increase the reusability and flexibility of virtual-machine construction. A case study was conducted to build a virtual machine by applying the proposed BVMO to an actual OpenStack cloud platform, and it was confirmed that the construction time of the virtual machine was reduced compared with that of the existing method.

Automated summary

In this study, a bespoke virtual machine orchestrator (BVMO) is proposed to construct virtual machines efficiently. By reusing and combining resource volumes, BVMO builds core assets that meet user requirements and constructs virtual machines. A case study applied BVMO to an actual OpenStack cloud platform, and the results showed a reduction in virtual machine construction time compared to existing methods.
