Claim 21:
22. A method to determine a migration recommendation of a service between geographic regions, the method comprising:
generating, by executing instructions with programmable circuitry, an interaction graph, the interaction graph including first and second nodes and an edge therebetween, the first node representative of a first service in a first geographic region, the second node representative of a second service in a second geographic region, and the edge representative of a network path of interactions between the first and second services;
determining, by executing instructions with the programmable circuitry, a weight value of the edge between the first and second services based on a count of network interactions between the first and second services and a latency between the first and second services;
determining, by executing instructions with the programmable circuitry, a first cost of running the first service in the first geographic region and a second cost of running the first service in the second geographic region, wherein the first and second costs are determined based on a share of resource requirements of the service relative to a cost of an underlying cluster infrastructure for the first and second regions; and
generating, by executing instructions with the programmable circuitry, a migration recommendation to migrate the first service to the second geographic region based on the weight value of the edge, and based on a difference between the first and second costs.
