Abstract
The techniques described herein provide systems for optimizing the use of cloud infrastructure and for assigning the execution of an application to hardware resources in a cloud platform that are preconfigured to handle the execution of the application. An application registration entity is made aware of different tiers within the cloud infrastructure. A tier is a designated area within a datacenter, for example, where hardware resources are preconfigured to tailor to the execution of a particular classification of applications. The application registration entity can classify an application into one of various classifications based on performance parameters which are represented by an application signature. Once classified, the application registration entity assigns, or maps, the execution of the application to a tier in a datacenter that corresponds to the classification. This tier includes hardware resources preconfigured, or previously configured, to satisfy the performance parameter.
