Abstract
The current document is directed to a machine-learning-based subsystem, included within a virtualization layer, that learns, over time, how to accurately predict operational characteristics for the virtual machines executing within the virtual execution environment provided by the virtualization layer that result from changes to the states of the virtual machines. When the virtualization layer receives requests that, if satisfied, would result in a change of the state of one or more virtual machines, the virtualization layer uses operational characteristics predicted by the machine-learning-based subsystem from virtual-machine resource-allocation states that would obtain by satisfying the requests. When the predicted operational characteristics are indicative of potential non-optimality, instability, or unpredictability of virtualized-computer-system operation, the virtualization layer anticipates a deleterious state change and undertakes preventative measures.
