A capacity resolver system in a cloud-based multi-tenant system includes point of presence (POP) systems and a cloud orchestration server. The POPs include hypervisors and the hypervisors includes nodes. A request for provisioning a node in a POP is received. Parameters are received from the hypervisors of the POP. Triggering of parameters above respective threshold values is determined. Downsizing or migration of one or more nodes based on the triggering of the one or more parameters is determined. The downsizing includes reduction in provisioned CPU core utilization or memory utilization that are determined to be underutilized. The migration includes the nodes migrated from the hypervisor to another hypervisor. The downsizing has higher priority of selection than the migration. Based on the selection of the downsizing or the migration of the one or more nodes, the requested node is provisioned at the hypervisor of the POP.

Provisioning of node based on downsizing or migration

A capacity resolver system for provisioning and management of nodes at point of presence (POP) in a cloud-based multi-tenant system. The capacity resolver system includes a plurality of POPs and a cloud orchestration server. The POPs include hypervisors that include a plurality of nodes. The cloud orchestration receives a request for provisioning a node. The request is provisioned at the POP based on parameters from the hypervisors of the POP. The parameters include Central Processing Unit (CPU) Core utilization, memory utilization, disk utilization and Virtual File System (VFS) availability of the node. A triggering of one or more parameters above their respective threshold values is determined at the POP. Nodes are identified for downsizing or migration based on the triggering of the one or more parameters. The node is provisioned at the hypervisor of the POP in accordance with a priority for the downsizing or the migration of the nodes.
