Abstract

Concepts and technologies disclosed herein are directed to data-driven feedback control systems for an acceptable level of real-time application transaction completion rate in virtualized networks, while maximizing virtualized server utilization. According to one aspect disclosed herein, a network virtualization platform ('NVP') includes a plurality of hardware resources, a virtual machine ('VM'), and a virtual machine monitor (“VMM”). The VMM can track an execution state of each of a plurality of applications associated with the VM. The VMM can measure a real-time application transaction completion rate of the VM. The VMM can determine whether a trigger condition exists for priority scheduling of real-time applications based upon the real-time application transaction completion rate and a pre-set threshold value. The VMM can, in response to determining that the trigger condition exists, apply a priority control schedule to instruct the VM to perform priority processing of a real-time application over a non-real-time application.
