Abstract

Techniques for migrating workloads across host computing systems in a virtual computing environment are described. In one embodiment, workloads executing on different host computing systems that access identical contents that are stored on storage devices are identified, with the identical contents often being cached in a cache of each of the different host computing systems. Further, migration of one or more of the identified workloads is recommended to consolidate the identified workloads on a single host computing system, thereby allowing the identical contents to be cached within the single host computing system and allowing the identified workloads to access the cached identical contents from the single host computing system after migration in accordance with the recommendation.
