Industry Internship Opportunity
Project: Public Cloud Workload Analysis
Location: Sunnyvale, CA
Job Summary
It is widely understood that public cloud workload to behave very different from the Google internal workloads. One evidence is that the lifetime of VMs outlive typical internal google jobs running in shared borg or dedicated fleets, which is usually composed of recurring instances of shorter jobs. Another example is client workloads that demand absolute performance guarantees while internal google workloads have more relaxed performance demands (e.g., perf/ total cost of ownership). The main goal of this project is to analyze the relevant logs to better understand the enterprise workload and to come up with efficient ways to schedule them. The result of the analysis will add to our understanding of the enterprise workload and our efforts to improve the efficiency of our data center resources.
