Cloud resource providers balance maximizing utilization under a power cap with meeting workload Service Level Agreements (SLA). As the amount of data used by workloads increases, so do the pressures on compute capacity in the cloud. Even if the resources assigned meet an interactive workload’s need for low latency, the data that interactive workload processes with allocated resources may not be sufficient to achieve a standard of answer quality. Increasing the resources allocated to a specific workload to meet its answer quality standard reduces the overall profit a cloud provider can make on interactive workloads. However, if a workload’s answer quality standard is not met, the interactive workload may seek another placement. Cloud instances can be purchased by the minute, and multiple opportunities for placement exist. Because of this, cloud providers need to put their clients’ interests first or lose revenue. To best serve their own and their clients interest, cloud providers need data which reflects resource usage, answer quality, and service level. If a cloud provider knows the amount of power used by each workload scheduled, it can better fulfill its power cap requirements without penalty. If a cloud provider knows the current latency and answer quality of scheduled workloads, it can decide when to reallocate resources. However, this is difficult because any collection of data online imposes overheads. While cloud providers generally
