Overview
The Xloud Resource Optimizer analyzes your running workloads against optimization goals — consolidation, thermal management, workload stability, or energy savings — and generates a prioritized action plan. You review the plan before approving execution, giving you full visibility and control over every workload migration. This guide covers the full operator workflow from selecting a goal to reviewing history.In This Guide
Optimization Goals
Understand the available optimization objectives and which goal to select for your
current operational need.
Run an Audit
Create and run an optimization audit via the Dashboard or CLI — step-by-step walkthrough.
Action Plans
Review the migrations recommended by a completed audit before approving execution.
Execute Actions
Approve and execute an action plan, monitor live migration progress, and verify results.
Audit History
Review past audits, track optimization trends, and compare cluster state over time.
Troubleshooting
Diagnose failed audits, stalled action plans, and live migration errors.
Key Concepts
| Concept | Description |
|---|---|
| Audit | An analysis run that evaluates the cluster against an optimization goal and produces an action plan |
| Goal | The optimization objective — consolidation, thermal, stability, energy, or zone rebalancing |
| Strategy | The algorithm the Decision Engine applies to identify suboptimal placements |
| Action Plan | A prioritized list of workload migrations generated by an audit, awaiting approval |
| Action | A single operation within an action plan — typically a live migration |
