Some embodiments of the invention provide a method of adjusting deployment of a set of resource elements in a public cloud. The method deploys agents on a first set of resource elements in the public cloud. The method communicates with the deployed agents to generate performance metrics regarding the first set of resource elements. The method analyzes the performance metrics to determine that a deployment of a second set of resource elements in the public cloud has to be modified. The method modifies the deployment of the second set of resource elements based on the analysis.

Some embodiments of the invention provide a method for evaluating multiple candidate resource elements associated with different resource element types for deploying one tenant deployable element in a single public cloud. The method deploys a set of one or more agents in the public cloud to collect metrics evaluating performance of each of the multiple candidate resource elements. The method communicates with the set of deployed agents to collect metrics to quantify performance of each candidate resource element. The method aggregates the collected metrics in order to generate a report that quantifies performance of each type of candidate resource element for deploying the tenant deployable element in the single public cloud.

Some embodiments of the invention provide a method of deploying a tenant deployable element to one public cloud. The method identifies first and second candidate resource elements respectively of first and second resource element sub-types to deploy in a public cloud to implement the tenant deployable element. The method identifies, for the first and second candidate resource elements respectively first and second sets of performance metric values to evaluate. The method evaluates the identified first and second sets of metrics to select one candidate resource element to implement the tenant deployable element in the public cloud. The method uses the selected resource element to implement the tenant deployable element in the public cloud.

Some embodiments of the invention provide a method of deploying first and second tenant deployable elements to a set of one or more public clouds, the first and second tenant deployable elements being different types of elements. The method identifies first and second sets of performance metrics respectively for first and second sets of candidate resource elements to use to deploy the first and second tenant deployable elements, the two sets of performance metrics being different sets of metrics because the first and second tenant deployable elements being different types of elements, the first set of performance metrics having at least one metric that is not included in the second set of performance metrics. The method uses the different sets of metrics evaluate the first and second sets of candidate resource elements, in order to select one of the first set of candidate resource elements for the first tenant deployable element and to select one of the second set of candidate resource elements for the second tenant deployable element. The method deploys the first and second tenant deployable elements in the set of PCDs by using the selected candidate resource elements.

A computing machine performs a correlation search against KPI data for one or more services using a selection criteria and a triggering condition. When the triggering condition is satisfied a notable event or incident is created and information about the notable event is presented using a user interface that may have interactive elements.

Technologies for dynamic allocation of network communication resources includes a resource manager server to allocate a set of network communication resources to a compute device through an expansion bus switch that is coupled to the compute device and to the network communication resources. The resource manager server obtains telemetry data indicative of a present utilization of the allocated set of network communication resources and determines whether the present utilization satisfies a predefined utilization threshold. Additionally, the resource manager server adjusts, through the expansion bus switch and in response to a determination that the present utilization does not satisfy the predefined utilization threshold, an amount of network communication resources in the set to the compute device.

Techniques for in-situ passive performance measurement are described. In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a data packet at a first network element, determining whether measurement information is to be collected for the data packet, providing one or more measurement fields for the data packet based on a determination that measurement information is to be collected for the data packet in which at least one measurement field identifies a measurement type, and forwarding the data packet to a second network element. The method further includes determining, by the second network element, the measurement type for the data packet, and performing one or more actions based on the measurement type.

A method and apparatus for monitoring network performance in near real-time by making measurements on packets received at an intermediate node in a wireless communication network. The solution is useful for any packetized communication network that connects a client and application server, and particularly for any application running over TCP/IP protocol. A method is disclosed for measuring end-to-end qualities of a packet-based communication session between a data sender (DS) and a data receiver (DR) at an intermediate node. The measured end-to-end communication qualities may include latency and packet delay variation.
