Overview:

Resource virtualization is currently being employed at all levels of the IT infrastructure to improve provisioning and manageability, with the goal of reducing total cost of ownership. This means that database systems will increasingly be run in virtualized environments, inside virtual machines. In this paper, the authors discuss how virtualization can benefit database systems, and it presents the tuning problems it introduces, which relate to setting the new "Tuning knobs" that control resource allocation to virtual machines in the virtualized environment. The authors present a formulation of the virtualization design problem, which focuses on setting resource allocation levels for different database workloads statically at deployment and configuration time.
