Abstract
A system and method for dynamically adjusting the amount of memory allocated to a virtual machine includes generating, by a memory resizing system, a current memory usage profile for the virtual machine. The memory resizing system and the virtual machine are part of a virtual computing system and the current memory usage profile is generated by mapping, as a function of time, memory usage information from the virtual machine. The system and method also include computing an upper baseline based upon a peak memory usage in the current memory profile, updating an initial memory allocation of the virtual machine based upon the upper baseline and a predetermined threshold for obtaining an initial revised memory allocation, determining a moving average of memory usage from a historical memory usage profile, and updating the initial revised memory allocation based upon the moving average of memory usage for obtaining a final revised memory allocation.
