Solving virtual machine puzzles: How AI is optimizing cloud computing

Google Research introduces LAVA, a trio of algorithms (NILAS, LAVA, LARS) that use continuous reprediction of VM lifetimes to optimize resource allocation in cloud data centers.

From the source

We present LAVA, a new scheduling algorithm that continuously re-predicts and adapts to the actual lifetimes of virtual machines to optimize resource efficiency in large cloud data centers.
