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.

## Evidence

Verbatim from https://research.google/blog/solving-virtual-machine-puzzles-how-ai-is-optimizing-cloud-computing/:

> 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.
