| Abstract | Relational Database-as-a-Service (DaaS) platforms today support the abstraction of a resource container that guarantees a fixed amount of resources. Tenants are responsible for selecting a container size suitable for their workloads, which they can change to leverage the cloud's elasticity. However, automating this task is daunting for most tenants since estimating resource demands for arbitrary SQL workloads in an RDBMS is complex and challenging. In addition, workloads and resource requirements can vary significantly within minutes to hours, and container sizes vary by orders of magnitude both in the amount of resources as well as monetary cost. We present a solution to enable a DaaS to auto-scale container sizes on behalf of its tenants. Approaches to auto-scale stateless services, such as web servers, that rely on historical resource utilization as the primary signal, often perform poorly for stateful database servers which are significantly more complex. Our solution derives a set of robust signals from database engine telemetry and combines them to significantly improve accuracy of demand estimation for database workloads resulting in more accurate scaling decisions. Our solution raises the abstraction by allowing tenants to reason about monetary budget and query latency rather than resources. We prototyped our approach in Microsoft Azure SQL Database and ran extensive experiments using workloads with realistic time-varying resource demand patterns obtained from production traces. Compared to an approach that uses only resource utilization to estimate demand, our approach results in 1.5x to 3x lower monetary costs while achieving comparable query latencies. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
