Abstract
A method and related apparatus adaptively control snapshot replication of a plurality of server snapshots in a multi-tenant public cloud using snapshot service. A plurality of snapshot requests are received from a plurality of clients in the multi-tenant public cloud and are each associated with a service level agreement (SLA). The SLA includes a corresponding completion deadline and a slippage penalty. A probabilistic model calculates, for active snapshot flows, a completion time for each of the snapshot requests. If any of the predicted completion times exceed their corresponding completion deadlines, a possible MISS event is produced for an associated first snapshot. The snapshot controller component, in response to producing the possible MISS event, minimizes a probability of breaching fulfillment times for the multi-tenant cloud. The slippage penalty is calculated for each of the plurality of snapshot requests. A second snapshot is identified from among the plurality of snapshot requests.
