1. A system, comprising:

  • host devices; and

    a management device operationally coupled to the host devices via one or more networks and one or more communication links,wherein the management device is configured to select a group of virtual computing instances executing on at least one host device of the host devices, wherein each of the virtual computing instances within the group of virtual computing instances comprises at least one of a virtual machine or a container,to select a group of operational metrics associated with computing performance;

    to configure a compound rule based on at least one of the group of operational metrics; and

    to send first information indicative of the group of operational metrics and second information indicative of the compound rule to the at least one host device, wherein the group of virtual computing instances comprises a first virtual computing instance and a second virtual computing instance, and wherein the compound rule comprises a first test condition associated with the first virtual computing instance and a second test condition associated with the second virtual computing instance; and

    wherein a host device of the at least one host device is configured to monitor, for the first virtual computing instance and the second virtual computing instance executing on the host device, at least one operational metric of the group of operational metrics,to determine whether the at least one operational metric satisfies a matching criterion of the compound rule, andto update control information characterizing an operational state of the first virtual computing instance and the second virtual computing instance in response to a determination that the at least one operational metric satisfies the matching criterion.
