Abstract
An optimized placement of virtual machines may be determined by optimizing an energy cost for a group of virtual machines in various configurations. For various hardware platforms, an energy cost per performance value may be determined. Based on the performance usage of a group of virtual machines, a total power cost may be determined and used for optimization. In some implementations, an optimized placement may include operating a group of virtual machines in a manner that does not exceed a total energy cost for a period of time.
