Techniques and systems for detecting leakage of computing resources in cloud computing architectures are described. In some implementations, first data may be obtained that indicates usage of a computing resource, such as non-volatile memory, volatile memory, processor cycles, or network resources, by a group of computing devices included in a cloud computing architecture. The first data may be used to determine reference data that may include a distribution of values of usage of the computing resource by the group of computing devices. Second data may also be collected that indicates usage of the computing resource by the group of computing devices during a subsequent time frame. The second data may be evaluated against the reference data to determine whether one or more conditions indicating a leak of the computing resource are satisfied.

Detection of computing resource leakage in cloud computing architectures

The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and computer readable media for diagnosing and mitigating memory impact events, such as memory leaks, high memory usage, or other memory issues causing a host node from performing as expected on a cloud computing system. The systems described herein involve receiving locally generated memory usage data from a plurality of host nodes. The systems described herein may aggregate the memory usage data and determine a memory impact diagnosis based on a subset of the aggregated memory usage data. The systems described herein may further apply a mitigation model for mitigating the memory impact event. The systems described herein provide an end-to-end solution for diagnosing and mitigating a variety of memory issues using a dynamic and scalable system that reduces a negative impact of memory leaks and other memory issues on a cloud computing system.
