Abstract
The embodiments related to systems and methods for virtualization planning. A set of target machines may employ one or more virtualization technologies to divide resources of the given target computer system into multiple execution environments for virtual machines. Overhead profiles are determined based on a configuration of a given target computer system, the virtualization technology, and work performed by the virtual machines. The overhead consumed by the virtualization technologies is estimated for the proposed allocation of virtual machines. Performance of the proposed allocation of virtual machines is then modeled and various performance measures are provided.
