Automatic volume reduction method and device

The invention discloses an automatic volume reduction method and device. The method comprises the steps that S1, a cloud management platform sends a resource volume reduction to a virtual resource scheduler when resource monitoring data satisfies a volume reduction condition in a volume reduction strategy; and S2, the virtual resource scheduler carries out resource recycling operation on a cloud platform virtual data center, so virtual resources corresponding to the cloud platform virtual data center are allocated to the resource management center, and a resource cloud controller updates the configuration information of the virtual resources corresponding to the cloud platform virtual data center. The method and the device have the advantages that the virtual resources are managed on a uniform platform, the management platform of the virtual resources and the cloud platform virtual data center are seamlessly integrated, and automatic volume reduction can be carried out on cloud platform resources. 本发明公开了种自动化的
