Patent 11914988 was granted and assigned to Hitachi, Ltd. on February, 2024 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
A phase classification model of a cloud application deployment device calculates a feature vector for each time period from resource usage data for each time period when an application is executed, clusters the feature vectors for each time period, and validates a result of the clustering to determine which phase the feature vector belongs to. Validation between a feature vector of a new application and a feature vector belonging to a cluster of a known phase is performed, and it is determined whether each time period belongs to the known phase or an unknown phase on the basis of a degree of the validation. The resource usage of a computer node for each phase is inferred, and application deployment is performed on the basis of an inference result.
