Abstract
A method for providing dynamic resizing of at least one virtual machine in a cloud infrastructure includes steps of: obtaining a measure of resource usage for the virtual machine and/or application performance of an application running on the virtual machine; determining, as a function of prescribed rules relating to resource usage and the measure of resource usage and/or application performance, whether the virtual machine requires resizing; and resizing the virtual machine to dynamically change resource availability for the virtual machine so as to maintain resource usage and/or application performance within prescribed limits defined by the prescribed rules.
