Google DeepMind researchers have developed LAVA, a new AI-driven scheduling algorithm designed to optimize resource allocation in cloud data centers. LAVA continuously re-predicts virtual machine (VM) lifetimes, adapting to actual usage patterns rather than relying on initial estimates. This approach aims to reduce wasted capacity and improve efficiency by more accurately packing VMs onto physical servers. The system uses a probability distribution model inspired by survival analysis to handle the inherent uncertainty in VM lifespans. AI
